-
Information technology design ethics
An ethics model built on an expectation of broad acceptance.
-
The weight of our decisions: designing isn't simple
A habit of intentional design is the gravity point of building trust for what's new. Humanist design is the gravity point of real loyalty.
-
Garbage in, garbage out
Truth is hard, and it's not made easier by how we talk about it and appproach it.
-
The funky variability of meaning as a lesson in taxonomy
Taxonomy discussions might be boring according to some perspectives, but they are periodically necessary. Originally published on Medium.
-
Nodes
The more tangible of the two most basic pieces in information structures.
-
Connections
The two most basic pieces in information structures.
-
Juxtaposition and placement of nodes
Using space to affecting meaning in models without connections
-
Structures in information architecture
The true structure of information, in my opinion, is the connectome — the pattern of connections that form between nodes.
-
Nodes as encapsulated rich data
The simplest additional dimension in information structures
-
Levels
The mixed-bag dimensions in information architecture
-
Strata
Dimensional ecology in information architecture
-
Lenses
The point of view in information architecture
-
Information structures ripen
Information gets modified all the time -- most often by being added to.
-
Learning is hard work
We don't actually learn according to the dictats of schedule.
-
Bottom-up approach to hierarchy
Start at many, keep consolidating to one.
-
Issues with top-down built hierarchical information structures
When it comes to information, connections have meaning. The value of the connections can be made explicit, as in ontology; but even…
-
Understanding system connectome
The way I’ve explained systems thinking was intended to help ground in a reasonably universal, physical medium that could be explored…
-
Systems flow
I’ve mentioned before that the push/pull of information is an indicator that we’re dealing with a system rather than a network, but what…
-
Systems expand and contract
Why does the push/pull of systems happen?
-
Systems are elastic
How systems rebalance is through and because of elasticity, and that elasticity is most prevalent in the connectome.
-
Variability and infrastructure
Done well, information architecture will live longer than the relevance of the raw data. As data shifts, as our data substrate and understanding grows, as ideologies are finally seen and sloughed: the information architecture needs to change with it.
-
It’s a bet
Information architecture is not a singular state, even if only one state is the bet.
-
Hierarchy as a lens, opening, or view
Hierarchical variation of organizing a subset of system for broader use.
-
The user perspective
The finite lens of the average pass-through user.
-
Perspective attention: quantum physics of the mind
Networks are huge, people's attention are finite; we move around with lenses to continually manage overwhelm.
-
The problem solver or researcher perspective
Variability of lenses used in researching novel approaches to information.
-
Quadrants of social and physical environments
Our entire environment is deeply intertwingled. Each of these quadrants are affected by countless systems, and each of those systems are connected with a level of interdependence that I don’t think we’ve begun to really understand. But lensing those systems with these aspects can, I think, provide a roadmap to dealing with our whole humanely.

Response: in the snap
The thinkable moments.
-
Processing chain
The actual processing of perception — whether done in this moment or a series of moments, or even non-sequential moments — is all about the snap, and is itself a complexity.
-
Prioritization, synopsis
Infinitely variable, yet some aspects are considered more important than others.
-
Weighting, synopsis
Comparative and fungible approach to what's important.
-
Reality Adhesion Threshold
Ideology shifting what information we see, or information shifting how we make sense of reality?
-
Who-ness: an abstract map of an individual's processing factors
Our thinking patterns that tend to lead to behavior and action, affecting others and coalescing into trends.
-
People have a complex relationship with time
This moment is rarely only this moment.
-
Non-memory history
People leveraging objects as tacit snippets of information history.
-
Managing our cognitive load
Cognitive load is the how underneath keeping on keeping on.
-
Ideation: people outside the snap
We play in the future all the time.
-
The ouruborus of perception
The self-tailored map to get from here to there, applicable to everything. Originally published on Medium.
-
We live through time physically: our relationship with time
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, all defined by the experience of having to go through them.
-
Creating novel future states
Thinking and talking about a thing is not the same as materializing it.
