Frameworks
01
INE:
Imagination, Narrative and Embodiment
The interplay of imagination, narrative and embodiment (INE) determines how well we can design and build regenerative systems that foster collective wellbeing and shared prosperity. In this context, imagination is defined as how we understand the actual and potential world; narrative is defined as how we communicate that understanding, which is embedded in individual and collective identity; and embodiment is defined as how we experience that understanding through mind-body integration.
02
SRM:
Story, Rule and Money
Story, rule and money can be used as interdependent forces to affect any culture-based system. Story shapes identity; rule defines relationships; money facilitates exchange. The interactions between these primary forces become exponentially more complex as society expands in size and diversity.
03
ACD:
Agnostic Contextual Design
Agnostic Contextual Design prioritizes context over method. This framework also favors condition over solution. In order to design for emergent complexity, shifting context is observed and evaluated on a regular basis to determine appropriate interventions. Design responds to changing conditions instead of fixed relationships between problem and solution.

5C:
Curiosity, Curation, Coordination, Commitment, Creation
Five skillful means (curiosity, curation, coordination, commitment, creation) can be connected to the five elements (air, fire, water, earth, ether) to achieve self-actualization and group cohesion. This framework provides intangible building blocks for deep transformational work.
