What is WikiSim? WikiSim is not like any website I know of. The best description I've got so far is "A Public Commons for Democratic Sense-Making"... I'm sure there's a better way to describe it and I'm open to suggestions!

I've (finally!) produced an attempt at explaining what WikiSim is and what problem it's trying to solve. This is version 1 (or 3 depending on how you count it!). Thoughts, criticism, confusion, crickets, encouragement, excitement all very much appreciated 🙏

How to unify conflicting perspectives - v1 Some initial thoughts on how one or more people can unify their conflicting perspectives.

Some of the experiences and thoughts that have been swirling around my head for a while now on how we help ourselves and each other to better understand our complex world and all the diverse array of opinions and viewpoints in it. I welcome your comments & feedback!

This content is looking like the front page of @wikisim.org I was hoping it would become one day! The seeds of data driven surprise, cautious optimism, and challenges to do solved. More and better will come ☺️

Got our first proper prototype sim on WikiSim! You can explore how to power to UK or Texas using the actual hourly electricity demand data from 2018 alongside wind and solar potential energy generation from www.renewables.ninja

WikiSim now has three new features for building and exploring models: a "Use Previous Result" option, and a table and a graph view to complement the JSON data view.

1. You can now feedback the result of the model into the next iteration with the "Use Previous Result" option, as shown here ... 🧵

First post! Excited to announce you can now upload your own games, simulations and interactive mini sites to WikiSim! For example here's Noughts and Crosses (Tic-Tac-Toe) wikisim.org/wiki/1031

It's been a long journey to get to this point 🌱 The end of the beginning awaits!...
