Speed (RTI): Relationship to information has changed. It’s now immediate.
Process
Adaptability: A system without feedback is worseless.
Completeness

What does knowledge mean?

To know means to connect

Things move too fast for knowledge to be stable

To learn means to recombine
(think ecologies (they foster networks))

***

The conduit, not content, is king.
Connections = potential for adaption

***

How do we function in decentralized spaces?

Filtering... through the process, not in advance

Contrived: narrated before hand
Dynamic: Process => Generated by the knowledge space

***

Mono-chromatic

***

Knowledge has lifecycle ... each cycle holds differnt shape. We change as it changes as we change.
MEANING – pattern recognition/interpretation (ecology, not computer)

Acceptance.
Don’t > Chaos is... ok > force structure

***

Abolish definitions.

***

I ‚ am allergic to YOUR integration
(choice=de-selection)

Integration tightens and minimizes connections ... unless properly conceived.

***

What is learning ecology?

An Environment that supports/fosters Learning
Adaptive, dynamic , responsive
Self-organizing/individuality directed
Structured informality
Diverse
„Alive“
