🔮 What is a marble?

In my world, a marble is a metaphorical container for a note that I want to share and shape with you. It can be a sketchy idea, an insight, a piece of knowledge, or a question that I consider valuable for my life's ongoing dialogue.

These marbles are never perfect and always a snapshot of a given moment. So, please, feel free to add your perspective at the ⬇️ bottom of the page. I try to follow the 🔮 principles for media movement building.

Read more about my intentions in 🔮 this marble.

In the past, I didn't have a way to share ideas or insights with others. This marbles website is the manifestation of my desire to share intentionally with the world. If you want to do it too, let me know. I can help you.

Areas of Communication Design

The spectrum of designing with self, others, and systems

When I talk about communication with friends, the image below comes up frequently. I think its power lies in visualizing the spectrum of communication and design. It is meaningful to me because I think a lot about the different forms of communication we embark on.

Here I define the word “design” as “intentional decision-making”

I see a spectrum of design & communication as listed below

  • Communication / design with self
  • Communication / design between two beings
  • Communication / design in small intentional groups
  • Communication / design on the systems & meta scale

It might also help to think about what communication is. 🔮 LUHMANN-COMMUNI-A
