Stories lead to identifying the “elements” that become part of the framework we are seeking to build during the CT Summit August meeting.  Sample elements from different sources that might undergird CT integration could include things like:

- Understanding systems (groups, influence, dynamics); example) understanding ecosystems by running experiments in virtual ecosystem.

- Creating innovations (designing and making new things, ideas, conceptualizations, representations, processes)
example) visualization, problem definition, novel abstraction.

- Collective sense making  (crowd-sharing data collection and analysis); example: logically collecting and organizing data from community and analyzing them to determine how prevalent an event is.  argumentation from evidence.

- Understanding potential consequences of actions (cause and effect, probabilistic occurrences)
