# Orientation

To find your way in this exegesis, you could use one or more of these modes:

* **The Three Part Story** - if you prefer to see the videos which outline the intervention, navigate to the [Thesis - Parts 1, 2 & 3 section](/mdes-exegesis/findings-and-conclusion/thesis-parts-1-2-and-3.md) where you will find the three of the videos explaining the research outputs together.
* **The Research Story** - use the ‘Next article’ navigation at the bottom of each section to explore the story of the project as I have structured it.
* **Choose Your Own Adventure** - if you’re interested in particular aspects of the research, the directory on the left signposts some places to begin your own reading, or use the search box at the top right to look for specific terms which may interest you.

The layers which make up this intervention, and thus the main chapters of this exegesis are:

1. **Generating Systems Sight**
2. **Crafting Strategy**
3. **Designing A Portfolio of Concepts**

I present the Portfolio of Concepts first to give form to the insights generated in the first two phases. Each section of this exegesis details my design practice, with detail about my design activities, snapshots of boundary artefacts, and reflections.<br>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kanopi.gitbook.io/mdes-exegesis/orientation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
