So you kind of got two axes there.

This is how I think about the very basics of the map here.

You've got your oodler on one axis and you've got your individuals, your groups, your societies on the other axis.

And you can start to ask, well, what are the activities that, what are the broad clusters of activities that we need to satisfy to be doing these things really well?

We've talked a little bit about collective epistemics.

I think that kind of inhabits the observe, orient, what we might call the kind of understanding side of the Oodler process.

And it's both an individual thing and it's a collective thing.

So collective epistemics is actually largely about individuals as a community of communicating, as a community network, like how is it that we come to make sense of things?

So collective epistemics kind of carves off that part of that map.

Then there's decision-making, which is bringing your rich, enriching understanding, making decisions that you endorse.

And this happens at individual levels, primarily but also small groups and so on.

And then a big piece that we haven't talked much about at all actually is coordination, which I think is really essential actually to this human reasoning vision.

And very broadly coordination encompasses is the collective part,

And it's not only understanding and making something like decisions, it's also being able to act together.

And this is a whole part of coordination, which is kind of difficult.

And at least for collective epistemics, there are various aspects to that.

We can imagine improving the way that we understand things

pieces of information that are kind of coming our way.

How do we source those pieces of information?

That's a kind of more network kind of question.
