Living Frameworks · RAD Studio

Not a blog.
A constellation.

These are living frameworks — radical thoughts developed through practice, tested in the world, cross-pollinating each other. Some are fully formed. Some are becoming. All of them are talking to each other.

Fully Formed Ideas

These six are the most developed — each a complete lens for navigating complexity.

Framework · Systems Change
The Weather Wars
The most important political struggle of the 21st century — who controls the narrative of what’s happening. The “weather” is reality itself. The side that names the weather wins. Five theaters, one frame.

Framework · Systems Mapping
4C Macroscope
A fractal diagnostic instrument for seeing why systems fail at any scale — through four questions: Clarity, Capability, Capacity, and Coherence. The same four failures repeat from a stalled team to a struggling nation.

Framework · Design Theory
Intervention Design Thinking
Most design addresses symptoms. IDT is a practice of designing at the level of conditions. Leverage over efficiency. Conditions over symptoms. Relationships over transactions. Emergence over control.

Framework · Systems Change
Forensic Systems Cartography
Making complex systems publicly legible — reconstructing how history, power, and feedback produce the conditions we inherit, through four movements: break, history, ownership, redesign.

Framework · Practice
Lunatic Sprints
A creative sprint reimagined as a 13-tone Wavespell — a journey of manifestation from inner spark to collective release. Time as art, not time as money.

Framework · AI Literacy
Slopcraft
A playful, ethical AI-literacy framework making the invisible costs of AI tangible — Slop-vs-Craft heuristics, resource awareness, and interactive tools.

All Frameworks

In various states of becoming. Each one a living document.

Framework · Economics
The Jubilee
A framework for periodic debt cancellation and resource redistribution rooted in ancient practice. What would it mean to build jubilee logic into modern institutions, organizations, and communities?
Read the framework →
Framework · Culture
Cyberfolk
The merger of digital culture and folk tradition — finding the sacred, the communal, and the ancestral in networked life. Memes as folk art. The internet as village.
Read the framework →
Framework · Regeneration
BRYC
Biocultural Restoration Youth Camps. Young people learn to restore land, culture, and community as one living system — rooted in Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo territory, built one brick at a time.
Read the framework →
Framework · Place-Based Design
Moʻo System Design
A holographic, place-based systems-design practice grounded in Hawaiian epistemology — designing with moʻolelo (story), ʻike kūpuna, and pilina (relationship) for a culture of restoration.

Framework · Inquiry
Appreciative Kuleana Inquiry
Appreciative Inquiry fused with kuleana. Not “what is wrong with you?” but “given all that has sustained you, what is becoming yours to tend?” — ending in a clarified responsibility and a next act.
Read the framework →
Framework · Relational Accounting
Kuleana Evaluation Framework
Form K-1: a relational accounting of what we receive, tend, and return. Five domains, the ahupuaʻa flow, and a Kuleana Quotient — a reciprocity ledger, not a profit statement.
Read the framework →
Prototype · Civic Infrastructure
Kuleana.info
A living map of responsibilities: not a volunteer directory, but a way to surface what needs tending, who is already caring, what capacity is missing, and how someone might enter appropriately.
Open the prototype →
Framework · Narrative
MythCoin
Myth is not false story — it is load-bearing story. MythCoin is the practice of understanding narrative as currency: stories have exchange value, they accumulate, depreciate, and compete.
Read the framework →
Framework · Politics
Seventh Estate
The press is the Fourth Estate. The Seventh is the people as an organized political force outside all institutional channels — not voters, not constituents, not consumers. Citizens in collective motion.
Read the framework →
Framework · Transparency
Sunshine Network
Radical transparency as infrastructure. Making power visible — tracking money, mapping relationships, documenting decisions, and publishing findings in forms communities can actually use.
Read the framework →
Framework · Systems
CHORDA
A chord is multiple notes sounding simultaneously — each distinct, each changed by the presence of the others. Chorda is a framework for understanding complex systems as polyphonic.

These ideas are never finished.

They grow through conversation, friction, and application. If one of these frameworks is alive for you — reach out. The best thinking happens in relationship.
