* from your own experiences working in collaboration, or with a collective, or having read a CoC, try to recall a specific moment which can define an action mode;
* **embody the situation through a conductor / conductive bot:**
* in relation to the situation, does your bot act as conductor or as conductive?
* what are your "action modes" (for eg.: sitting; dancing; witnessing; listening; gathering; greeting; sparking; whispering; reminders is a specific kind of action);
* action modes that create or perform within specific situations (for eg.:conversation is unbalanced);
* what apart from language can be used as a way of conducting? what other modes of non-linguistic expression?
* **further questions:**
* how could the bot be physically enacted? what gestures would it perform?
* some (non-exhaustive) attributes of bot behaviour: iteration, repetition, lack of memory, other temporalities (duration / tempo)
* will your bot perform in other space extensions? speaking to other (chat)rooms? to other spatial formats (file systems, like the gather.py which uses a txt file for adding words to a glossary);
* will your bot be a channel between private to public? semi-public to semi-public? semi-public to private? private to private?
* will your bot relate to other bots? thinking of distance and proximities between members and bots: is it listening to a specific member? is it listening to other bots?
