There was a skype call between @ffunch, @sebpaquet and @technoshaman on July 9, 2010.
New experiences & meaning from inspired conversations flow more smoothly in and across nodes of innovation, if we pay attention to how we can help it.
Relevant excerpts:
@ffunch: I accept your suggestion that we reflect and polish and send something out; it’s not just a matter of summarizing it, but there are also some other dimensions. We need to make a pretty compact form; a 1.5h recording is not compact. We need to distil the core of it and pass that on.
@technoshaman: Groups of conscious people have a responsibility of bringing out as much coherence as possible outside of their group.@ffunch: What I heard you saying is that we have a responsibility to package insights. It’s not a great service necessarily to share a long conversation or a long set of notes.
Reviewer note:
Listening to the record of the conversation, @cyber_shaman commented:
Distillation of information, creation of new languages, passing on coherent meta-messages
To adequately convey something to the future it needs to be in a compact form.Attention to consciousness of common process ie converging/divergingRendering effective processes into pattern languageObserving responsibility to bring coherent information, distilled and synthesised, to the whole in accessible and appropriate ways
Some of what that conversation sparked for me is in this blog post: Consciousness of Pattern, http://ming.tv/flemming2.php/__show_article/_a000010-001965.htm.
It also relates to attempts of encoding patterns in symbols, like the icons that @notthisbody and @gavinkeech have came up with: http://cargo.notthisbody.com/522649/Memetic-Strategies. And to @openworld’s Narrative Fractals: http://www.quora.com/What-are-narrative-fractals
How can we say more with less? Convey more meaning in smaller packages?

But compacting is different than a coherent meta-message… also distilled and synthesized is different than a coherent meta-message… Are you talking about getting the essential out? or looking for the higher level meaning – or the deeper layer – that connects it all but was till now not visible or not conscious?

Intrigued by @VenessaMiemis #Junto concept I put together a rough demo of simple first level tagging by assigning four types of meaning. Video after the jump.
I also added @Openworlds narrative fractals to a possible user interface mock-up.

Want more meaning from meetings? How to untangle the convo?
