Framecapture
Set a discussion's agenda from every participant's framing, not from the first or most powerful one
Definition
Mechanism
At the start of a multi-party discussion, each participant states how they frame the question, and the agenda is set from all the framings. Unlike a single ProblemFramer, no one participant's framing governs; a question posed inside one framing is marked with whose framing it is until the others accept it.
Invariants
- Each participant's framing is recorded before the agenda is set.
- A question posed within one framing is marked with whose framing it is.
- The agenda is set from all the recorded framings, which the participants may merge, narrow or vote on together; no one participant's framing sets it alone.
Risks
Failure modes
Capture
the first or most powerful framing becomes the only one questions can be asked in.
Framing sprawl
every framing is kept open and the discussion never narrows.
