What's the Process of Creating a Collaborative System?

We wanted something that could represent thes collaborative conversations. We went through a lot of iterations that felt very combative, and we just weren't capable of kind of capturing a collaborative moment. It really been a big part of it was simplifying everything enormously, and actually also abstracting things a lot. And i don't want get too far into like, what those s are, but there's some really beautiful stuff that comes out of this that's really thematic and amazing.
