-test.,+==== Welcome to the Libarynth... ==== 
 + 
 +The ever-growing Libarynth is almost exactly what its name implies – a hybrid between a library and a labyrintha maze of pages in various stages of completion. It is a deeply intertwingled collection of documents, notes and [[randomness]] - many of which are related to [[start?do=search&id=foam|FoAM]], a network of transdisciplinary labs at the intersection of art, science, nature and everyday life. 
 + 
 +{{>http://www.flickr.com/photos/zzkt/17811658538/}}\\  
 + 
 +FoAM's collaborators, friends and sympathisers use the Libarynth as a research diary, sketchbook, or activity log. Some sections of the Libaryth are [[project_archives|well structured]], others are overgrown and forgotten. Pages can be found on a [[category_index|variety of topics]], from [[visual programming]] to [[experience_inflatables|inflatables]] or vegetarian-friendly [[restaurant guide|restaurants]] around the world, lists of [[Culture Ships]] or [[luminous/steady_state_economics|steady state economics]], or perhaps notes about [[fermentation_notes|fermentation]]. Many pages are in development, containing a few links or a couple of short notes (inviting interested [[wiki_gardening|wiki-gnomes]] to expand them). Others are more complete [[foam_research_reports|research reports]], [[foam_publications|publications]] or [[reading notes]]. For weeks the Libarynth might be quiet, punctuated with sudden bursts of activity, as can be seen in [[start?do=recent|recent changes]]. As a living archive of FoAM's interests and activities, the Libarynth is continually changing and [[start?do=index|expanding]].  
 + 
 +For some the Libarynth can be overwhelming, so we advise caution when first treading over its threshold. Once comfortable within the overgrown wilderness, you are very welcome to contribute: by starting new topics, editing existing pages, or making new connections into or out of the Libarynth itself, beyond its porous edges. 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 +Here are a few possible starting points: 
 + 
 +  * [[Project Archives]], such as [[:/future_fabulators/start|Future Fabulators]], [[parn/borrowed_scenery_arn|Borrowed Scenery]] and [[:/open_sauces/start|Open Sauces]] 
 +  * [[foam_publications|Publications]], from the [[:/futurist_fieldguide/start|Futurist Fieldguide]] to [[field_guide_to_flying_saints|Fieldguide to Flying Saints]], across [[groworld vegetal culture]] and [[enacting_futures_in_postnormal_times|enacting futures]]... 
 +  * [[Residencies and Transiencies]] 
 +  * [[foam_workshops|Workshops]] 
 +  * [[Doing Nothing]] 
 +  * [[Reading Notes]], from [[2312_by_kim_stanley_robinson|2312]] to [[zibaldone_the_notebooks|Zibaldone di pensieri]] 
 +  * [[Lecture Notes]] 
 +  * [[orphan_pages|Orphan Pages]] 
 +  * Attempts at categorisation: [[category_index|Category Index]], [[parn/garginz|Garginz]], [[augmented_ecology|Augmented Ecology]] 
 +  * Number six: [[calvino_heuristics|Six memos for the next millennium]], [[Six easy steps to avert the collapse of civilisation]], [[The six aspects of the well-conceived voyage]] 
 +  * Random picks: [[2013_foam_winter_solstice_ceremony|Yule Ceremony]], [[Thalience]], [[Powerpoint debilitation]], [[The Internationale]], [[Structured procrastination]], [[Menu for Monday]] 
 +  * [[[[start?do=index|The Full Index]] 
 +  * If in doubt (or curiosity) use Search.
