Different analytical frameworks

In a variety of disciplines scholars are concerned with understanding requirements for designing structures in which we, as human beings, can steer towards our own well-being and survival for establishing sustainable social structures. None of these approaches is currently considered part of presence theory or design.

However, when accepting that presence is essentially the strive for well-being and survival, these approaches contribute to presence design for larger social, ecological and technological structures. Fundamental to all of these approaches is that we participate with our own strive for well-being and survival while participating in a larger process of collective evolution or change. Each of these approaches is concerned with design processes or analyses as meta-design for the value of presence.
