Inhabiting
Wonderland
What world must this person be inhabiting for their experience and participation to make complete sense?
People do not encounter one another in a single, neutral reality. Each person experiences what is happening through a world organized by their stance, identity, assumptions, language, embodied state, and level of awareness.
That world determines what they notice, what they disregard, what appears possible, and how they participate.
This work occurs upstream of behavior, belief, narrative, communication, and strategy. It does not begin by asking how to change what someone thinks or does. It begins by asking what world they are already inside.

For practitioners whose work requires them to enter another person's world.
The revelatory entry experience.
Inhabiting Wonderland reveals that people participate according to the worlds they perceive.
Persuasive Architecture develops the capacity to organize participation within and between those worlds.
This is not a literary study of Alice in Wonderland. It is an introduction to perception and proportional participation as a transformational practice — and to the deeper disciplines of Persuasive Architecture.
