Templating Micro Communities
A social behaviour to connect people into a micro community
All humans can create micro communities to feel a sense of togetherness. Connecting people as a behaviour spreads, when it becomes a habit.
Community templating is based on these principles:
-
Synergy (whole is more than its parts)
-
Feedback loops (community is a process like a ping-pong)
-
Cross-pollination (diversity makes an interesting community)
-
Living systems (min number for a system is 4 = min number for a micro-community is 4)
-
Interdependence (create a micro-community of people who spark a micro-community of their own about other topics they are interested in)
How to embody this behaviour?
-
Bringing 4 or more people together into a group (Discord, Telegram or Zoom monthly call: "we are all interested in X topic, how about we explore this topic together?")
-
Connecting people 1:1 (sending an email to two people who have shared needs, projects or interests: "You both are interested in X topic, I thought you would like to get to know each other and share ideas")
-
Sharing resources (saying: "You mentioned that you are trying to do X, here's a resource that may help")
-
Giving feedback (saying: "From what I see/hear, it seems you're trying to do X")
-
Asking a question (saying: "How can I help you?")
-
Adding on top of the project (saying: "I looked into your project and created X")
These behaviours are practised on a micro level, like when having a chat with a friend, family member, a stranger met on social networking sites.
Main idea: evolution was driven by cooperation
I used "min system is 4" in this idea.
I used his points about fractals in this idea.
Manau, kad yra sąveika su „Unity“ programa su šia idėja. Pavadinkite tai „flash“ bendruomenės funkcija.
I feel there is synergy with the Unity app with this idea.
Call it a flash community feature.
įkvėpimo sėmėsi iš: - Buckminsterio Fullerio mąstymas apie sinergetiką (4 yra sistemos minimalus skaičius = mikro bendruomenė) - Simbiotinis žemės filmas (sistemų sluoksniai sistemose = mūsų bendruomenė yra motina mūsų narių bendruomenėms) - Gyvosios sistemos filosofija šia idėja siekiama suformuoti žmonių socialinį elgesį ir išplėsti įprotį kurti mikrokomunikacijas!
inspiration came from:
Buckminster Fuller's thinking on Synergetics (4 is a min number for a system = a micro community)
Symbiotic Earth movie (layers of systems within systems = our community is a mother for communities of our members)
Living Systems Philosophy
this idea aims to shape social behaviour of humans and spread a habit of creating micro-communities!
„Thinking“, populiarus patarimas, kaip sukurti bendruomenę, sako, suskirstykite norimus bendruomenės narius ir palengvinkite jiems renginius. Ne tiesa. Jei bendruomenė yra sistema, dalys neturi reikšmės, vietoj to susikurkite sąveiką. Tai reiškia, kad reikia paklausti, kaip „Community X“ galima susieti su kitais tinklais?
Thinking, a popular advice on How to Create a Community says, map the desired community members and facilitate events for them. Not truth.
If a community is a system, parts don't matter, map interactions instead. That means asking, How Can Community X be linked to other Networks?
