Without these, the systems will continue to optimize for profit and growth, as these inputs are more easily measured.\n\nOur hypothesis is that the body - meaning the full individual in relationship to its environment - are the providers and maintainers of a system\u2019s subjective input and the regulators of its health. An opinion or desire becomes more granular as it moves further away from the body, to a word, to a pen, to a keyboard. The body is an under-appreciated sensing device within collective space and as a result our disembodied practices make gray commons stewardship. \n\nLearning from a wealth of experience from the literature, embodied facilitation, systemic constellation work and beyond, we will develop a conceptual framework around physical presence and sensory sensibility that creates emergent properties and realities for decision-making. In our experience, this can connect physical spaces with their online counterparts, enhancing the warmth, meaning, and sense of belonging that come from being an active part of these communities.\n\nThe outcome of this research will be a playbook with practices for meaningful governance, including a suite of workshop tools for use within civic spaces to transform idealism into tangible impact through actionable solutions for local issues. The playbook will combine practices within three key threads:\n\n**Hyperstition** is a cybernetic term which describes how ideas can create their own reality. \n\n**Proprioception** is the internal sense of body position, it\u2019s what allows us to move our limbs without looking at them.\n\n**Exteroception** is the awareness of external stimuli, it\u2019s how we sense the bodies of others.\n", "lastUpdated": 0}, "recipient": "0x8246faC207365D2D1c369961f76b1189A511ccb7"}}
