STPrism is ready to take a look.(For an overview of STPrism see Overview of the STPrism Architecture)

The QSets defined for Systems Thinking at QSets - Perspectives in Practice are central to the STPrism approach. They allow an ‘Excel like’ access to the different authors and their perspectives via a normalised digest which is consistent and compatible for every author (listed under Voices). They are produced for each author for different aspects of the research challenge which here is Systems Thinking. To extend the approach to another topic, such as Climate change, you would need different Voices and different QSet questions.

Remember the QSet re-works the source material from each Voices into a normalised digest aligned precisely to some aspect (specified by the QSet prompt) of the research question.

The various responses forming each QSet are combined (drag and dropped!) in a new NotebookLM notebook which is used as the basis of the ‘Excel like’ slice & dice analysis etc (which are explained in The Excel like access to Content). The analysis is, or should be your own questions on the aspect of interest although the website contains examples. The example prompts from the analysis work are illustrated at (Example Questions List) are interesting in their own right but more importantly serve as examples to develop your own.

Remember the QSet represent a ‘slice’ of the author’s work relating to a particular aspect of the issue in focus (Systems Thinking/Complexity). The extent of the material (or depth) from each author will vary - depending on the richness of their ideas and the extent of material provided. If you ‘play’ with your own questions you will find that - depending on the probe - some aspects are more informative than other.

It might be quicker and more instructive to look at 🤯Rogers WOW List for inspiration.

Sharing QSets

If you feel like a in-depth real play I can set the QSets to share if you provide me with a Google Mail address, you can read, view and develop your own queries on your own free Google NotebookLM account up to 50 queries a day.~~ The systems also allows a download of the files which constitute the QSets Try It! explains how to access the sample QSets - but down please read the [[Invitation - Small Print|Small Print]].

Introducing New Voices

Similarly if you want to develop a new author Voices based on your own proprietary or personal source collection the process and prompts are described here and you can transfer the resulting output file (typically 1000 words per author) to add to someone else’s QSet resource.

Technology - Google Accounts

The free account for NotebookLM is sufficient to get you going together with a content limit of 50 documents each with up to 500000 words. If the Voices cannot get their point(s) across in 25 million words I despair!

(Note: NotebookLM is robust to an input of lots of files concatenated in one big one. The pro version offers more features but more expense - I found it necessary to upgrade but only because I was running multiple queries per day to build STPrism).
