![]() ![]() (Diverge) Follows : This one is further out, but from the beginning I’ve pictured Subconscious as a multiplayer experience. (Converge) Link suggestions : Subconscious also finds notes that seem to be related, and helps you link them together, both while you’re editing (status: alpha-1), and passively via Geists (status: prototype). Others will take old notes and collide them in new ways, to provoke new ideas. Some Geists will be focused on issuing oracular provocations. (Diverge) Geists are little bots that live in your Subconscious, doing useful things. ![]() When you give a note the same name as another note, Subconscious will merge the two notes together-another convergent feedback loop. ![]() (Converge) Rename-or-merge : riffing on search-or-create, Subconscious also offers rename-or-merge. Search-or-create in the latest Subconscious dev build It’s a tiny app with just a few features, carefully chosen to help you diverge, converge, and close meaningful cybernetic loops. This is the lens through which I’m designing Subconscious. So back to the napkin sketch… What if we reimagined diverge/converge as a single moment within a larger conversational feedback loop-one where the outputs of convergence become the inputs for new creative divergence? )Įvolution as a process that happens in any system with mutation, heredity, selection. (Explored in Notes are conversations across time. Knowledge exists subjectively in each of our minds, and we construct it through conversation with others. Pask’s Conversation Theory, which sees knowledge as conversational process. (Explored in Knowledge gardening is recursive, Unconscious R&D, Building a second subconscious, and The knowledge ecology. Output becomes input to a recursive process unfolding across time. Have you ever put a microphone too close to a speaker? Like that. )Ĭybernetics, which asks us to see processes as feedback loops. (Explored in Getting lost in the land of ideas. Then we make choices by synthesizing, connecting, editing, removing, refining. First, we we create choices through brainstorming, research, recombining, remixing, etc. This quick sketch is a mashup of several theories that have influenced my design process, including…ĭiverge/converge, which lets us imagine creativity as a two-phase process. ![]()
