Alternatives have landed! It's now possible to have a central concept like "Energy demand of heating water in UK" and have an alternative according to a political party, academic group, report, etc. Here's an example: Original: wikisim.org/wiki/1244 Alternative: wikisim.org/wiki/1248

Had a 🤦‍♂️ moment when I calculated the £ per person for the £500 million increase in GP funding as... drum roll... £7 per person and thought @wikisim.org was broken... nope WikiSim was fine, just my intuition was broken! 😂 wikisim.org/wiki/1198v2 ajamesphillips.com/blog/convers...

I've (finally!) produced an attempt at explaining what WikiSim is and what problem it's trying to solve. This is version 1 (or 3 depending on how you count it!). Thoughts, criticism, confusion, crickets, encouragement, excitement all very much appreciated 🙏

What is WikiSim?
WikiSim is not like any website I know of. The best description I've got so far is "A Public Commons for Democratic Sense-Making"... I'm sure there's a better way to describe it and I'm open to suggestions!
