Key takeaways
- Through synthesis you can construct a new point of view or conclusion based on a set of observations
- Multiple things going on at the same time (very much like Luhmann’s Zettelkasten)
- We want to re-use and remix ideas from the past
This is a future that I want: a research group can confidently aim their sights at a complex, interdisciplinary problem area, and construct an effective synthesis together with minimal “busywork overhead”
Conceptual model
Question notes
Express an open research question
Synthesis notes
Express a single, generalized idea (e.g., a claim)
Observation notes
Express a single, highly contextualized and specific observation. Many observation notes can form a synthesis note
Context snippet
To ground and contextualize observation notes
