   @bhaugen @mike_hales the most amusing thing to me about "lose band" toots is that i have no idea what i have been lost from since i seem to receiving a bunch of toots, and they do seem to be related to each other. (artifact of my Mastodon instance?) @ckohtala @lynnfoster

     @mike_hales
     thanks. I don't mean to lose
     @band - and I don't know why it has happened more than once,'

     My eyes are getting worse. Got a new eye exam on the schedule so maybe that will help.

     Next I'll re-toot something @bhaugen wrote on coordination, which dropped out of the linear flow and lost @band
     But not including oliphant, if that's ok?

     More tomorrow including how the coordination conversations will (probably) work.

     The main roles in the network are farmer, wool cleaner, spinner, weaver or knitter, and the garment designer (who is usually the coordinator of all the other processes).

     Laura wants to get the other textile designers to coordinate their own flows.

     We're helping them to coordinate a software development team to help all that textile coordination to work.

     One network we have been working with lately is https://www.newyorktextilelab.com/ in the Hudson River valley between New York state and New England. Laura Sansone seen down that page is the coordinator of the network. She and her partner Evan drove around in their pickup hauling wool, yarn, and knitted and woven textiles around the valley from one stage in the textile flows to another.

     @ckohtala @mike_hales @lynnfoster trying yet again to include @band

     And to finish that last thought for now, the coordinator role could be very temporary. Could be re-assigned in the midst of a decision thread, if need be. But there was always a coordinator who asked all of the other participants if they agreed or not and announced the decision (or failure to decide).

     Ok trying again.
     @ckohtala @band @mike_hales @lynnfoster

     This is a new thread about the human relationships coordinating resource flows in economic networks.

     One angle I have observed, back from my work for Choreology around 2000 (this is one of the few signs that it ever existed: http://xml.coverpages.org/CohesionsV10-Announce.html )
     is that coordinated networks of all kinds seem to need a coordinator. Somebody who responds to all participants in a decision thread leading to consensus.
