Practice
Introduction
MWW Practice begins where awareness meets complexity.
It offers a human way of seeing, sensing and shaping the world — moving from presence, to shared meaning, to collective action.
Through the three human layers — Awareness, Relation, Action — the Practice reveals how humans and systems co-create each other.
Here, ethics meets architecture, imagination becomes structure, and understanding becomes possibility.
A relational, embodied and systemic way of seeing, sensing and shaping complex situations.
MWW Practice works through three human layers:
- Awareness (Human Conditions)
- Relation (Human Perspectives)
- Action (Human Actions)
Together, they form a relational, ethical and systemic approach to complexity.
1. HUMAN CONDITIONS — Awareness
How we arrive.
Human Conditions create the embodied, emotional and relational ground for perception.
This layer includes:
- somatic awareness
- ritualising and arrival practices
- emotional safety & resonance
- context sensing
- MWW Reading (first layer)
- STUART as grounding qualities
Awareness prepares the field for deeper meaning-making and collective intelligence.
2. HUMAN PERSPECTIVES — Relation
How do we see together?
Here we enter shared meaning-making, pattern recognition and the relational field.
Human Perspectives include:
- perspective mapping
- reflective dialogue
- pattern recognition
- collective sensemaking
- MWW Reading (ME–WE–WORLD)
- relational ethics
- Double Lens interpretation (Law ↔ Ethics)
- systemic viewpoints from partners (Bauwens, Machiel, Ray, etc.)
Key themes:
- how systems shape meaning
- how value definitions shape relations
- how perspectives reveal tensions and possibilities
- how communities distribute attention, care and responsibility
Human Perspectives is where the world becomes visible — not as a problem, but as a living field of relationships.
3. HUMAN ACTIONS — Action
How we shape futures.
This layer moves from understanding to intentional creation.
Human Actions include:
- imagining new possibilities
- scenario building
- prototyping
- commitment-making
- future literacy
- embodied decision-making
- leadership practice
- The 5-Step Future Design Process
(Presence → Orientation → Patterns → Possibilities → Commitments)
System Architecture (as expression of Action)
System Architecture is not a fourth layer; it is the structural expression of Human Actions.
It includes:
- governance-by-design
- decentralised value systems (Blockchain for Lean)
- commons constitutions
- incentive structures
- value redefinition
- infrastructural prototypes
- regenerative system design (Ray Podder)
- anticipatory system logic (Diego)
Human Actions → create the system architectures →
which in turn → shape new Human Conditions.
This completes the relational cycle of MWW Practice.
4. MWW READING
Seeing with two lenses — relational and structural.
MWW Reading is the core method of the Practice.
It combines:
- ME (individual experience)
- WE (collective meaning)
- WORLD (system architecture & context)
Each Reading includes:
- Awareness
- Relational Perspectives
- Double Lens (Law ↔ Ethics)
- Patterns & tensions
- Actionable insights
Examples:
- Accountability (Reading 4)
- Interoperability (Reading 5)
- District Heating (Reading 6)
5. CASE — DISTRICT HEATING (DOUBLE LENS PRACTICE)
A fully worked-out example of MWW Reading applied to a real socio-technical system.
Shows how Lean logic, blockchain interoperability, governance, ethics and human perspectives collide and co-create meaning.

The MWW Practice works with a set of relational, systemic, somatic and architectural tools that help teams, communities and organisations see, sense and shape complexity.
