1- Physics

1.3- Relativity

• Who could see the situation differently?
• Why do they see the situation differently ?
• How their vision is different from your point of view? Is their vision valid?
• What are the differences between the different point of view ?
• How could you make sure they understand your point of view?
• What are your limitations and bias to assess the situation?
• What other point of view could you use?
• What the world would have to look like to you for those actions to make sense?
• How could you reconcile the different point of view to be closer to reality?
• What are the incentives and bias of the other side?
• What are your incentives and bias ?
• Are your incentives playing against the reality ?
• What is the bigger picture?
  • What does the situation look like in the weeks, months, and years ahead?

1.4- Thermodynamics

• Are you evolving in a high energy environment?
• What are barriers that reduce the speed of the process and requires more energy to achieve things?
• How could you create barriers to avoid system to influence each others?
• What actions are you performing to avoid disorder?
  • How much energy do those actions represent?
  • Could you find ways to decrease the energy required to maintain order?
• Is there something that show contrast?

1.5- Leverage

• Is there any leverage you identified?
• What type of leverage could you use in human relationship?

• How could you keep your leverage over time?
• What could amplify your result?
• What are the critical elements on which rely other parts?
• Who can help you in achieving your goal?
• Do you have something that other people value?
• What makes the thing you have valuable in the eye of other?
• How could you increase the value of what you have ?
• Are the lever you are using contributing to build win-win relations?

1.6- Inertia

• Does the option imply changes?
• What is the amplitude of changes at end?
  • Rational
    • Mass matters. It is much easier to apply the force to stop a light object versus a heavy one.
• Are you resisting changes?
• Does your beliefs hinder you to embrace change?

1.7- Friction/Viscosity

• Is there something that slow you down? Why is it slowing you down?
• Are the relevant parameters of the situation dependent on the scale you are operating at?
• Could thing be easier in a different environment ?
• What parameters of the environment make things harder ?
• What makes things harder to move ?
• Are you applying something that cannot work in your environment?
• Is there some problems that you can fix immediately?
• How could you reduce friction in the environment in the long term?
• Is there something you can do to increase resistance on some parts that will benefit you?

2- Chemistry

2.1- Activation Energy

2.1.1- Where energy is required

• What is the most energy consuming action that you will have to perform?
• What is the timeframe of your action?

2.1.2- Weighing your impact on change

• Are you strong enough to decisively influence events?
• Are you gonna fight against the crowd?
• Does the outcome rely on the action of other people?

Initiating

• What are the requirements to initialize the change?
• Is there a point where you cannot go back ?

Sustaining

• What are the requirements to sustain the change?

2.1.3- Personal energy

• Are you putting enough effort to support the formation of a new structure?
• Do you have enough energy for the task required?
• What is the likelihood to push things through 100%?

2.1.4- External energy

• Does the outcome rely on the action of other people?
  • Will they have the energy to perform it?
  • Can you incentive them to perform the required action?
  • Will their motivation hold in the future?
• Who are the least favourable to change?
  • How could you convince them ?
  • How could they affect the process of change?
• Who are favourable to change?
• What are their incentives to act or to not act?
• What is their default behavior?

2.1.5- Best plan

Increasing motivation

• How could you lower the energy required to make the task?
• How can you facilitate the action?
• How could you build commitment to ensure sustaining efforts?
• How could you increase their motivation?
• How could you create mechanism that sustain motivation of people involved in the outcome?

Via-Negativa

• What can you do to lower the impact of people who are reluctant to change?

Locking change

• How could you create a change of structure that would make impossible to return to an earlier stage ?

Foreseeing difficulties

• What are the difficulties that you are potentially gonna encounter?
• What is your plan to face those difficulties?

2.2- Catalysts
