Loopy¶
Nicky Case's Loopy helps us think in systems via an easy-to-use web app. Great for illustrating and sharing simple systems.
In 2018, the idea of NFTs being used in games started to gain traction. This was largely due to the success of Cryptokitties, and with the several startups that started to explore what the technology means for current game ecosystems.

Pathetic Dot Theory¶
Created by Lawrence Lessig, a relevant mental model for thinking of the systems that affect us and the products we build.
A Declaration of the Interdependence of Cyberspace¶
Closed Fiefdoms of the platform world, you weary giants of stocks and small talk, I come from the Pluriverse, the new home of the Heart. On behalf of the future, I invite you to join us.
Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace by Lawrence Lessig¶
[The code] will present the greatest threat to both liberal and libertarian ideals, as well as their greatest promise.

For this week, we'll be drawing 🟠 circles and ↗ arrows.
Below is Nicky Case's diagram of interconnected systems. We've tried to identify Web 3 concepts and technologies that could be part of each system and have added them beside their respective nodes.
Where would your product fit in this diagram? Consider which systems your product affects and which ones affect it back.
Don't hesitate to add or remove nodes and arrows. This is just a model to help you think through systems, and there is no correct answer.
