Entry 12.15.20

More thoughts on flow.

POE identified: music

Previous discussions have applauded athletics as a point of entry into flow. Music has now been identified as another point of entry into flow, and music is used for heightened group flow. There are various levels of entry capability: listening to music, listening to music in a group, creating music, and creating music in a group.

Listening to music and creating music are similar, but are separated by intent. Creating music individually is a base version for creating music in a group. There is a great leap in flow entry ability when the group’s number goes from 1 to 2, and each group member after adds an exponential amount of value.

More 3D printing

This section title is misleading. I’ve actually been doing less 3D printing but each model is more detailed in complexity and fewer models are thrown out as prototypes. The prototyping has paid off as I now design for problems which were only realized after manufacture. This is a great step.
