Cognitive Justice
ZCD sent me this article the other day. It’s provided a framework for understanding the goals of my design intuitions. What does design mean when it incorporates many perspectives and balances the integrity of all knowledge forms in its “network.” By network I mean all of those involved in a designed object’s creation, production, distribution, etc. (e.g. HowStuffIsMade)
Here’s a summary of cognitive justice from Maja van der Velden

I’m not sure I agree that each form of knowledge should be treated exactly equal in this model. My sense is that a negative frequency-dependent model could better maintain the diversity of knowledge bases over the long-term. I haven’t compared coexistence models yet for exactly equal proportions of perspectives, but I’d imaging that as soon as one gains an advantage their is little incentive to maintain that equal proportion. These are my first thoughts.
