New terminology for explaining our technology. A federated wiki site is called a "creative cottage" and the lineup of neighbors is called a "creative courtyard". The focus is on the feeling present in our work and less on the mechanism.
The Santa Fe Institute as a metaphor for a "creative cottage" and the lineup of neighbors is called a "creative courtyard".

> The Santa Fe Institute has been similarly designed. The office buildings cascade down the hill maybe four or six internal steps at a time. As one steps into a creative courtyard one can gaze upon the surrounding private offices of visiting faculty, the creative cottages they occupy while on sabbatical, each decorated with system diagrams of one kind or another. The ambiance is that of a library except at afternoon tea time when the courtyards fills.
