5 What Ifs

What We’re Tracking #

Forward-chain hypothesising from observations in topic journals — mundane or extraordinary. For each observation, build a chain of 5 “what if” steps toward an implication, then check whether independent chains converge or diverge.

How this journal works #

Runs on every journal run: it re-reads the new entries in every topic journal with the 5 What Ifs method and writes one dated entry. It gathers nothing itself.
