TALE: A new network of possible themes (April 21, 2203)

The Curated Mind

I often curate my mind by diagramming with pictures, text, and signs. For example, this morning I made the above diagram and used it to represent the connection between some possible themes and knowledge frameworks.

1. Pictures represent Possible Themes

In the past three months, I worked on the TALE knowledge center which hosts the Thematic Engagement project. I encourage people to select a primary theme and start their journey of knowledge engagement.

A technique of this process is making a theme visible with a picture. Moreover, I used the book cover image format to design these pictures because the journey’s outcome could be a possible book.

2. Red dots refer to knowledge frameworks I made in the past years

• PE: The “Project Engagement” approach
• KE: The “Knowledge Engagement” framework
• AAS: The “Anticipatory Activity System” framework

3. The meaning of the diagram

How did I connect them together? What’s the meaning of the diagram?

The “Frame for Future” theme refers to building a project model to project the future which can be understood with the “Anticipatory Activity System (AAS)” framework.

The AAS framework requires a significant action of moving mental focus between FUTURE, PRESENT, and PAST.

The “Strategic Thematic Exploration” theme refers to a technique of capturing inspired ideas and building a framework for the journey of knowledge engagement. Moreover, it emphasizes the “Early Responses” action, the “Chance-configuration” process, and the formulation of “theme network”.

The second stage of the journey of knowledge engagement is to build a Knowledge Center around a unique knowledge framework or other ideas. This stage requires other people to join the journey.

We can use the Project Engagement approach to understand this stage because building a knowledge center is a collaborative project. It also means Social Moves.

From the perspective of “Social Curativity Theory”, a collaborative project is a social container. A person is a social piece. If a person joins a project, it means a Social Move.

Since the stage of Knowledge Center is about running a series of knowledge projects, we can use the Knowledge Engagement framework to guide the process.

4. Making Personal Tacit Knowledge Visible

These connections between themes and frameworks are my personal tacit knowledge.

By using the “diagramming as thinking” technique, I can share tacit knowledge.
