Conversations are the most flexible and adaptive and learnable forms of communication. Without conversations democracy is impossible. Only conversations can explore complex social system.


We will benefit from making useful conversational sequences (recipes) explicit.

# Dimensions of Conversions
Reflection (back in time)
Synthesis (forward in time)
Analysis (mechanism)
Story (sense making)
Speculation (forward in time)
Revelation (present)
Narration (giving voice, reading) 
Explanation
Making noise (avoiding silence and internal awareness)
Improvisation (playing with others in harmony)
Fighting (defending, fleeing, dominating)
Algorithmic exposition (how to)
Questioning (explore another)


# Time & Place
Point of view (situatedness—time, place, person, culture & language, etc. etc.)
Systems (DSRPT, “sub t”--time, dynamics)

# Conversational dynamics: 
Order, sequence, timing, duration, selection of speakers and listeners.

Role of facilitation and "recipes".
