For
People navigating disagreement without erasing boundaries
Worth noticing
The 30 experiments are offered as a printable business-card-sized PDF, with 10 cards per Letter sheet.

Field notes

The experiments are framed as things to try, revise, contradict, or abandon, rather than rules to adopt. One interactive model lets visitors add people whose threads either cross others’ paths or oppose them; another exposes a neighborhood-segregation dynamic through adjustable preferences. The page also links the project’s ideas to named references, including Thomas Schelling’s 1971 work on segregation.
