Things I learned:
I learned that the more I thought through the various outcomes DMZs cause/create the more complicated the web would become. It was very disorganized at first, so creating subgrouping and combining certain outcomes helped me clarify the topic and see areas of opportunity to explore.
I also liked the spiraling nature of the causal loop. Wars lead to DMZs which in turn lead to fewer wars then fewer DMZs etc. Very cool and simple visual to have!
In class you spoke about your interest in the network DMZ. How might you go about expanding the branches and defining aspects? What are the stakeholders, what metaphors could you utilize? The consideration of these zones being the point of both containment and transition both blurs and potentially transforms the conventional understanding of those spaces. If this is the focal point for you, how might that map onto “networks”?
