Deep diving into #PatternLanguage s,

particularly their relation to curriculum design.

That #WickedProblems is mentioned here, and implied associations with #complexity,

is quite interesting.

If you're familiar with this speculated influence on Alexander's motivations, please reach out to me.

Creating situations to generate raw combat data, to enhance a product that has nefarious applications, and warp an entire location's peoples.

Good thing that only ever happens in videogames!
