A day of theoretical and practical distillation of
technology into technique.

If technology is considered as a mediation device to
mitigate against loss or unwelcome facilitation of
exploitation then any departure should be a step towards
freedom and wealth.

A journey into the domain of pure technique would appear
to be the way to go.

Areas of interest include:

* Movement without money.
* Non material accommodation.
* Productivity without possessions.
* Grapevine telegraph vs mobile texting.
* Mnemonics vs. content management.
* Social vs. technical engineering.
* Non-narcotic alteration of brain chemistry.

Results and conclusions from this event are intend to be
applied to the efficient running of the IRATIONAL server.

Working definitions:

Technology: The scientific method and material used
to achieve a commercial or industrial objective.
Technology at best is a poor replacement of what has been
lost either by design or accident and at worst an integral
component in the engineering of that loss.

Technique: The systematic procedure by which a complex or
scientific task is accomplished. Technique can be the
creation of more by using nothing more than ordering of
sequence and spacial relations.
