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

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