Make sense of messy topics together Sticky Studio is a collaborative space for complex discussions

Sticky Studio

In the Ecology of Systems Thinking group on Facebook, Gene Bellinger says:

Take a look at Sticky Studio from the Kumu people. A real-time web-based environment for creating relationship maps. Partway down on the entry page is a Brief Guide done in Sticky Studio. There is also a link to a temporary board where you can try out the environment. And they’ve updated the pricing scheme so you can create as many public boards as you care to with as many collaborators as you might need. This is awesome stuff!!!

ADAPTIVE COMPUTING

Class overview

Complex systems are characterized by interactions that may generate novel information. This information can change problems, so previous solutions become obsolete. To face complexity, we need adaptation. In this course, we will cover different methods for building systems that can adapt to unforeseen changes.

Go to Classroom.

The class is open and free for all students worldwide.

Those who deliver successfully coursework and final project will receive a certificate.

The Reality War

Gnostics. It’s just Gnostics all the way down.

What if I told you our world isn’t as it seems? That much of what we call politics and the “culture war” is really an ancient theological war over the metaphysics of reality, colliding with the digital revolution? Well, if you’re willing to follow the white rabbit, then take whatever color of pill you’re partial to, strap on your VR headset, and buckle up, because this is gonna get weird.

What makes EDI so hard?

EDI – Electronic Data Interchange – is an umbrella term for many different “standardized” frameworks for exchanging business-to-business transactions. It dates back to the 1960s and remains a pain point in every commercial industry from supply chain and logistics to healthcare and finance. What makes it so hard? Why is it still an unsolved problem despite many decades of immense usage?

Abstract

This book addresses the question of how people learn from experience. The topic is unusually slippery and easily eludes one’s grasp just when one feels one has it defined and placed.

Whether it’s systemic racism, failures in our public health system, or the need to restart our economic system, people are talking about systems.
