AO Projects —> Principles —> Prompt
For the 15 principles, I'd make the structure slightly different:
# [Principle]
## The Principle
## What We Mean
## Why It Matters
## What It Looks Like
## What It Does Not Mean
## Questions
## Challenges
## Experiments
## Possible Actions
## Evidence
## Replies
This gives every principle a built-in conversation β experimentation β action pathway.
The particularly important sections
What It Does Not Mean is valuable because principles are dangerously easy to misinterpret.
For example:
Unity without sameness
could accidentally become conformity.
So the principle should explicitly define its boundaries.
Challenges invites somebody to say:
"I disagree."
That's not a problem. That's exactly what you want.
Experiments is where a principle becomes an AoP laboratory:
How could we actually test this principle in a real community/project?
And Possible Actions bridges it into the actual project.
But I'd go one step further
Since you're saying βany point can be replied on,β I wouldn't regard ## Replies as the only conversational mechanism.
I'd make every meaningful heading a potential address.
