Home · Working notes · Exploratory notes · About
This site collects independent notes on systems, conditions, and effects.
The focus is analytical, not prescriptive.
This site is maintained by Alexander Wende.
Working Notes are stable analytical references.
They articulate structural distinctions, clarify concepts, and describe constraints that remain valid across contexts.
A text qualifies as a Working Note only if its core claim:
Working Notes are intentionally few.
They are not conclusions or instructions, but points of stability within a larger thinking space.
Exploratory Notes document thinking in motion.
They contain partial ideas, tentative distinctions, speculative connections, or unfinished lines of reasoning that are not yet stable enough to function as references.
Exploratory Notes may:
They are published to support exploration, not to establish positions.
Version numbers express stability, not progress.
There are no incremental minor versions (e.g. 1.1, 1.2).
A new version is assigned only when a text reaches a new level of conceptual stability.
Texts on this site may be read, cited, adapted, or extended.
They are provided as analytical material, not as ready-to-use solutions.
Their applicability depends on interpretation and context-specific translation.
This site does not aim to be comprehensive, current, or complete.
Its purpose is to provide a small number of stable reference points and a visible space for ongoing exploration.
