We use the term playground in the way most understand it to mean: a place to hold recess. Where the focus is not on the stuff you can see (the playground equipment, or the open space used to play ball or tag), but rather on the human interactions that resets the brain.
To see how children’s playground and recess relates to the very adult interactions between power practitioners, stay with us as we take a closer look…
Playground is one of those words whose definition does not signal the full meaning of the word. Obviously, it is an outdoor area provided for children to play…, but the main focus is on the interactions that take place at recess that closes the loop on the full definition of the word playground.
Recess, a power situation that initially appears to be so simple as children playing, is in real terms a complex network of human power system(s) interacting within their physical world.
Technically speaking:
A multi-layer, multi-dimensional power system that moves in omnidirectional ways across many facets of power: Financial, Logistical, Analytical, Biological, Social.
Where the power factors include the stuff you can see and touch: the open space of 1) the playground itself, 2) the playground equipment, 3) the young people playing, 4) the supervising adults, 5) and more…
Where the power interaction loops are: 1) within each child’s individual mind, 2) between any two individual children, 3) between individuals and small groups of children, 4) between small groups of children and other small groups of children, 5) between any individual child or small groups of children and any number of supervising adults that happen to be present, at the moment and throughout the recess period, and more…
… the importance of the complexities of the quality of the interactions become self-evident
Another type of playground, most notably brought forth by Albert Einstein are thought experiments. Throughout time, power practitioners have used conceptual rather than actual experiments as a precondition to running experiments in the physical world.
agnetic, inspired by those that came before us, continues this systems design discipline by 1) conducting design focused use case power scenarios, 2) apprenticing focused use case power simulations and importantly 3) producing focused exponential power moves.
We provide these articles as playground equipment for other power practitioners to enjoy at recess. In the same way recess resets the human brain for school children by providing a necessary break from the rigors of concentrated academic challenges in the classroom, we offer this open space to give power practitioners open space to practice their power interaction capabilities, and more…
The ability to do something or act in a particular way is power. Power has many facets. Facets include both interactions and the factorsthey shape.
in this situation our use of ‘machine learning’ is used to suggest the affect of today’s machine learning on our understanding of the physical world is similar to how previous optical technology, (the microscope, the telescope and more…) upended the way previous generations viewed the world and our place in it.
That is to say the raw data, and early use case experience are demonstrating previous ways of perception and decision-making (best guesses, rules of thumb, averages, telescopes, and more…) and the leverage-based power rule sets collapse as new multi-dimensional, omnidirectional, raw data streams in from machine learning tools. Tools like: artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, cloud computing, hyper-connected networks, and so much more…).
This last point about leverage-based dependent power systems collapsing is evident and exampled in the next section.

tactical taktək(ə)|adjective
• (of a person or their actions) showing adroit planning; aiming at an end beyond the immediate action: in a tactical retreat, she moved into a hotel with her daughters.
• relating to or constituting actions carefully planned to gain a specific military end: as a tactical officer in the field he had no equal.
• (of bombing or weapons) done or for use in immediate support of military or naval operations. Often contrasted with strategic.

in this situation our use of ‘classic’ is similar to other references (the shift from classical physics to quantum physics, and more…) where before optical technology was able to bring clarity to situations (things like microscopes, telescopes, and more…) humans used ‘best guesses’, ‘rules of thumb’, averages and raw intuition to make perceptions and decisions.
We humans have done it again. We have created a new technology we don’t yet fully understand. We think how Galileo handled things is a good reference for how to relate to new data flowing from new technology. To see how legacy power (business & more) models hinder power moves (an anticipated historical event because power moves in anticipatory cycles and loops), check this out this example involving Microsoft ∞ Google.
“Probably the best example is Microsoft: the company didn’t “miss mobile” — Windows Mobile came out in 2000 — but rather was handicapped by its allegiance to its license-based modular business model and inability to envision a world where its core product (Windows) was a planet orbiting mobile’s sun; everything about Windows Mobile’s design presumed the exact opposite.”[From Ben Thompson’s Stratechery blog: “How Google is Challenging AWS.”]

To be clear, power in the physical world itself has not changed. How we humans relate to it, interact with it and understand how to use it has changed. Traditionally, the most effective form of power we humans exerted upon the world came in the form of debt induced direct action that involved leveraging, pivoting, accumulation of physical and intellectual assets and other forms of direct power. The now outmoded logic behind all direct power strategies is the idea that by creating friction, by way of debt accumulation and more, one could leverage one’s preferred outcome upon the physical world. A more modern logic is emerging. In many ways, this new logic could be seen as the physical world pushing back. Machine learning, in all its forms, is reducing the effectiveness of humanly contrived friction in all its forms [FLABS]. The emerging power model inverts the sequence of how power gets done so as to achieve deeper, more effective levels of efficiency and higher levels of quality.In essence, machine learning enables more and more people to move in ways that enabled force multiplier moves around friction and other outmoded outcome based agendas.1
