Worlds refer to groups of people who have similar experiences. No one sees or understands everything that needs to be seen and understood. The trick is to efficiently locate the missing information and understanding. Probing and comparing people’s perspectives (facts, opinions, assumptions, and ideas) provides much more complete and therefore reliable picture of situations and possibilities.
So be sure to probe as many relevant worlds as possible.
In statistics we call these “rational subgroups.”
> I would like to understand the Worlds that make sense for neighborhoods. Look at Philip and Diane's work in Miami Beach. Look at Karl's community survey information. Look at McKnight's work and ABCD's take on neighborhoods. Also look at Bellingham Neighborhood charters.
