Intentional context

What a PLAIT is: an intentional context for what belongs together, and the braid metaphor as structure: your PLAIT, a PLAIT, and the three strands within it.

A PLAIT is an intentional context for what belongs together. Organization answers where something belongs; context answers why it belongs there. A PLAIT may be a family, a health situation, a business, a creative direction, a relationship, a responsibility, or a possibility — anything whose parts are better understood together than apart.

The braid metaphor is structural, not decorative:

  • Your PLAIT is the whole lived weave: the changing totality of contexts, relationships, signals, responsibilities, resources, practices, and possibilities through which you experience and navigate your life.
  • A PLAIT is one intentional context or subcontext brought into focus within that wider weave.
  • Flow, Tribe, and Prosper are the three strands that can be traced within a PLAIT and across your wider PLAIT.
