extending co-design for collaboration (10k words)
Co-design provides the structures to build a generalizable, collaborative, and legible design process.
Co-design has structures that can be generalized for any type of design problem.
Applied category theory can be used to create structures that are interoperable.
Co-design uses applied category theory to provide a multi-layered solver that connects design problems using partial orders
this multi-layered capability allows for it to be generalizable to any level of detail and decomposition
Posets as structures for representing value
All design problems are fundamentally a negotiation of resources and functionality
Opinion-oriented design problems can be opened to input
Opinion-oriented design problems can be surfaced for stakeholder opinions to create design problem implementations in the form of joint posets.
Use methods to efficiently extract partial orders with a voting system (e.g. Bradley-Terry Model)
Integrate democratic community engagement methodologies
Tradeoffs can be visualized and surfaced to the user, making the design process and the impact of different priorities legible.
Plausible fictions as a use an example of a generalization use case for this new framework.
