When you have a complex structure reduced to some simple representation you have to compress and control.
So this is my prototype of a possible future world.
It is a completely constrained world, where going out of boundaries is expensive, a luxury.
No creativity, nothing allowed besides the possibilities of data sets and the existent data models and platforms.

(Responsible fot the recursive structure called wholeness, that reflects in our minds and cognition psychologically)

The city Internet is a receptacle for life. If the receptacle severs the overlap of the strands of life within it, because it is a tree, it will be like a bowl full of razor blades on edge, ready to cut up whatever is entrusted to it. In such a receptacle life will be cut to pieces. If we make cities the Internet as a tree, it will cut our life within to pieces.
Each pattern describes a problem which occurs over and over again in our environment, and then describes the core of the solution to that problem, in such a way that you can use this solution a million times over, without ever doing it the same way twice.

Pattern 75:
family house
Eco-chambers?
Do we have accidental eco-chambers or we are using the wrong patterns to build conversational places?
