Interrogable

Information ecosystems sometimes keep participants in the dark, preventing them from understanding more about the information conveyed. While opacity in a system can make it easier to understand, preventing users from becoming disoriented or overwhelmed, it also does not invite users to think critically about the information presented.

How does the system invite users to interrogate the information being conveyed?
In other words, how does the system make the "invisible" visible, so that it can be interrogated?

Self-Regulating

In peer-to-peer patient support communities, there are mechanisms that allow community members to indicate the reliability of posted information. If online spaces are like gardens, they should be community gardens, where any participant can contribute to the health of the information.

How does your system allow participants to regulate the information within the system?
