This document discusses strategies for transition design and making sense of systems and futures. It introduces concepts like "feeling around corners" to understand potential futures and make decisions with limited information. Transition design requires understanding how interventions may unfold over time and preparing for various outcomes, both ideal and unexpected. The document suggests approaches like backcasting, scenario planning, and considering what interventions would look and feel like if going well, badly, or failing to help navigate uncertainty. The goal is to equip designers to make ethical decisions that create quality futures and to retrospectively and prospectively make sense of their actions and future implications.

Designers have privileged access to niche temporarily materialized potential futures, as such they need to be equipped to not only make effective decisions about quality of life, but also be aware of the moral and ethical consequences of instantiating these futures in the wider world. !
