Human Augmentation starts with conversations among a Knowledge Community with a shared purpose to solve a complex problem collectively. Participants share "a feel of the situation". Conversations are linked to documents and sites. They can link to more than one resource. The conversations produce true statements that become part of the knowledge structure. The new knowledge structure sparks new conversations.

Goal:

I send a Site to a user, and the user instantly starts having meaningful conversations. (not just commenting).

Personas and Communities:

Sofia shares Nodos de Conocimiento with a colleague, and she starts participating.

As a new user, I had no idea that the system's driving mechanism is conversational. I understand that I can annotate text with my comments, but I don't understand that I am expected to engage in conve

Reading problem: threaded conversations are hard to follow

Seed’s comment threading currently feels closer to Twitter/X-style replies than to a structured conversation space. This creates friction when trying to follow a discussion.

Management problem: users cannot easily follow all conversations they are involved in

As users participate in more discussions, it becomes hard to know what needs attention. They may miss replies, forget open threads, lose track of decisions, or fail to return to conversations where th
