Prof. Jessica Calarco's thread bsky.app/profile/jess...) led me to the works of Prof. Ruth Schwartz Cowan and a recent talk by her (www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXDf...). It resonates with the thinking that any change needs to be considered in the wider ecosystem.

Making connections across two papers using the Becoming system. One is about indigenous projectiles used in waterfowl hunting (arxiv.org/abs/2606.03015), and the other is about splash-free urinal design (academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...). #Scaffolding #Becoming #Connections

Scaffold that provides basic support for side-by-side comparison of two concepts to do structure-mapping (Gentner). The scaffold leverages the HexQ to express a concept cluster.

Every action we (as individuals, families, teams, or organizations) take in a situation is driven by some question(s) explicitly stated or not. Surfacing the questions early helps clarify the web of concerns. * How might we scaffold this from a young age and across different contexts?

How might we design and develop systems that enhance and scaffold the key skills that increase the viability of our society? What if digital media platforms scaffold the reading experience, making the readers aware of the context and interconnected aspects? #Scaffolding

Entangling experiences, concepts, thinking, and applying across contexts and generations.

I am looking for those who care about investing effort to think, create, share, and assist in the development of committed others(individuals, families, teams, or organizations). #Scaffolding #Becoming #Nurturing #Navigating

Framing influences someone’s understanding of something in one way over other ways. This involves the entanglement of experiences from the past, perceptions of the present, and the context. Structure of the framing concept is now explorable in Becoming system (becoming.systems#/offering ).

Becoming edition - a scaffolding system meant for individuals keen on integrating learning, thinking and doing. It scaffolds the practice and integration of meta-skills as part of your approach. Early access version available now: becoming.systems

Everything that we create is a structured arrangement of other things towards one or more intentions. This has two implications. 1)This might be part of or be of use as part of larger structured arrangements. 2)The parts used in this arrangement themselves have other parts.

The aspiring process guides, inspires and helps sustain commitment. It also helps garner support from interested and caring others. How might an aspiring individual's journey and an aspiring organization's journey compare? How might they entangle?

A system IS STRUCTURING of entities for a purpose. The system MAINTAINS a boundary with the environment. The system AFFORDS possibilities to stakeholders in the environment. The stakeholder MIGHT FIND the possibilities afforded by the system desirable & undesirable and also expected & unexpected.

For every action (what) and reason (why), there can be other reasons. There will always be multiple approaches (how). It is a collection of trade-offs. How might we sense the tangled web of a situation under consideration?

How can the idea of Sierpinski’s triangle be used to understand recursive becoming? Here is an attempt to articulate it.

In what ways can something in an ecosystem change with no impact on other systems?

What if we can have a caring teacher for a family? This person will learn with the young learners and guide the family of learners across generations.
