In complex systems, motivation is rarely enough.
Coordination is what makes care actionable.
What’s That Green? is a great example of making collaboration visible by mapping the people working to reconnect cities and nature.

Happy New Year, Kumunity
This week we’re featuring an interactive map of the concept art ecosystem by Laine K. It turns a fragmented field into a legible system — something systems mappers will recognize right away.

After my proposal in Dec’24, we came up with theory features like order of magnitude, materialism-idealism scale, complexity etc. Eser Aygün and Amaç Herdağdelen used Gemini to get theory scores & similarity degrees. I designed and implemented the visualizations using @kumu.io. ↓
