Sarah asked me: What is ‘Frameworks’ for? Why could it be fun for children to build simple graphical models of their thinking? What would be the point? What are they learning? What is the “Intelligent Frame”? What are interfaces to thinking and understanding?]
Frameworks is About
‘Frameworks’ is about thinking, about representation, about modelling, understanding and remembering, about representation and about communication and sharing. It is about simple graphical models as interfaces to thinking and understanding.
Thinker Modellers construct models of their thinking around a Core Spinal Model.
The Core Spinal Model is contained in the ‘Frameworks’ Meta Model.
Thinker Modellers construct models of their understanding around the Core Spinal Model deconstructing scale and complexity to manageable proportions. Redcing complexity and cognitive overload.
[Other data and modelling tools are available]
‘Frameworks’ Thinking Models may be sketched and drawn on paper and on boards. Simple graphical models. The computer-based Thinking Model and the Tool are interactive and fun. Structured, independent thinking (in some form or another).
A Simple Way, a Simple Mechanism.
For modelling communicating and sharing thinking. Models of thinking and understanding – constructed by Thinker Modellers – as interfaces to their thinking and understanding. In education teachers need to communicate with children and parents. ‘Frameworks’ Models provide a simple interface for thinking and sharing thinking. ‘Frameworks’ modelling is simple, framed (as an object-oriented Meta Model), and constrained (modelling is simple rule based)
The idea is to reduce complexity to manageable proportions – a key exercise, capability, skill in the digital world – employing the ‘Frameworks’ methodology.

[From entry-level capabilities and simple tools to the world of Tech Savvy IT Professionals and state-of-the-art information modelling tools e.g. Microsoft Office, Adobe Cloud Creativity Suite, Ardoq etc]
Version 4 is on the way (I wish).
Version 4 The STUFF BOX
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
AI assistants and agents are evolving quickly to provide mechanisms for modelling and managing key information. Reducing the burden of thinking about or doing this. Returning comprehensive answers to questions. Automation. A new world.
No need for independent and individual modelling and management of key information then? Creative or otherwise. AI will look after all that?
So, what about human intelligence? AI may come to exceed human intelligence, play the game and win. So, what about human intelligence?
How might “artificial intelligence” and human intelligence work together?
The question is who is to be master, that’s all.
