Personal interests
Self-organizing systems are also a pet subject of Judith Jules’s outside of Metaplan, and thus the focus of close examination and discussion: whether they pertain to assemblages in social media, protest organizations, subcultures – or even within one’s own family system. Judith Jules spends the rest of her time playing the clarinet or reading.
