And I am also interested in the paper on wicked problems, especially if there are technology solutions involved. This is a topic I have been researching for a while. We have talked about it in the past, I also met Aldo for a project on Patterns that Connect. I'm now engaged in a PhD research on Pattern Literacy and how it can support systems literacy and system intervention -a philosophy / theoretical framework-, the challenge being to bridge the gap between fragmented knowledge and language -both in kind and in perspective-, and the increasing intricacy of emergent 'reality' at various levels and scales. I'm particularly interested to document in my thesis technologies that can assist in this matter. I have laid out lots of 'requirements' -:P- but still have not found what I believe would be needed. But lots of progress certainly has beenmade since I was more actively searching...<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><div><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">All my work is available on my<span> Academia.com page.</span> In particular: <span><br></span></div><div><span><a class="ydp2049301js-work-strip-work-link ydp2049301text-gray-darker" href="https://www.academia.edu/17543428/Towards_a_Fourth_Generation_Pattern_Language_Patterns_as_Epistemic_Threads_for_Systemic_Orientation" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Towards a Fourth Generation Pattern Language: Patterns as Epistemic Threads for Systemic Orientation</a> (Purplsoc 2015)</span></div><div><span></span> <span><a class="ydpd42a4944js-work-strip-work-link ydpd42a4944text-gray-darker" href="https://www.academia.edu/27465412/Patterns_that_Connect_Exploring_The_Potential_of_Patterns_and_Pattern_Languages_in_Systemic_Interventions_Towards_Realizing_Sustainable_Futures" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Patterns

Aldo de Moor and Justin Smith and I are working on a more ambitious piece called (tentatively) "Can Pattern Languages Help Us Address Wicked Problems? A conceptual framework based on patterns and pattern languages" in which we lay out ideas for helping to make the use of patterns and pattern languages generally more accessible, useful, and widely known.
