The Developmental Platform

An ecological concept for interdisciplinary developmental study.

This article aims to define a new concept for the Platform for Development (P4D) framework. Some readers argue that the framework doesn’t have a clear definition of “Platform.” In order to clarify the ambiguity in the previous article, I suggest that there is a need to develop a new concept about platforms for interdisciplinary developmental studies.

First, I will use the above Venn diagram to highlight the need for interdisciplinary development. The concept of Developmental Platform is defined as an intermediate concept for connecting theory and practice.

The following article Platform as Infoniche introduces the Infoniche framework for understanding the structure of Developmental Platform.
