Life Strategy: The Domain Discovery Activity

Define a new type of Second-order Activity

This article aims to define a new type of Second-order Activity for the Anticipatory Activity System (AAS) framework: Domain Discovery Activity.

The above diagram highlights four keywords for Domain Discovery Activity: Events, Projects, Perspectives, and Themes of Practice. These keywords are adopted from the Epistemology of Domain.

This article will turn The Epistemology of Domain into the Domain Discovery Toolkit for future development.

1. “Discovery” as Second-order Activity

I have written articles about Life Discovery, Knowledge Discovery, and Concept Discovery. From the perspective of the AAS framework, all “Discovery” activities belong to Second-order Activity.

The AAS framework claims that an AAS is formed by two parts: First-order Activity and Second-order Activity. The major difference is the objective of Second-order Activity is all about defining objectives for the next activities while First-order Activity only focuses on producing results.

If you ask the following questions and you can easily answer them. Then, you can just do it.
