The dynamic map I’ve initiated at debategraph is now public. It’s called spiral number one, built around the question:

How can we use software like this [the software that debategraph uses] as part of a system to represent and document knowledge and human experience in a social environment on touch-screen enabled devices such as tablet computers and phones?

Which is a bit of a mouthful but there we are. Just a note - I’ve been talking to the folks behind debategraph about this kind of stuff (and other things) for a while now.

Here’s the goal:

… to get to the point where someone somewhere – anywhere – can pick up a network-connected, touch-screen enabled device (like a tablet computer or a phone), turn it on, see a 3D dynamic map appear and navigate through knowledge and human experience.

Along the way the project includes what I see as a possible future for digital publishing. If you’re particularly interested in that just follow the highlighted connections (the thicker arrows).

The link above takes you to the surface of the map.
