This tool helps the team move from exploratory questions into the field of ideas, and then deepen those ideas using permaculture ethics and principles.
The process unfolds in two phases: first, ideas are generated freely and without evaluation to open the widest possible space of possibilities. Then the ideas are observed through the three ethical pillars and selected principles to strengthen them and make them more sustainable.
Ethics provides the value framework, while principles help ideas become feasible, gradual, and multifunctional. In this way, ideas evolve from isolated solutions into part of a wider system of relationships and resources.
