The framework was designed to<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></em><em>enable the modification of emergent attractor landscapes. Specifically, we report on the introduction of a<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></em>primary probe<em>; the secondary, community initiated probes and the attractors that emerged through the process. Probes were designed to stimulate</em><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>frame<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em>changes amongst participants that would influence social practices.</em>Attractors<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em>represent the empirically visible culmination of discrete patterns that influence the dynamic landscape. Managing or modifying these patterns, thus changing the landscape, including social practices, is the principle that underpins the framework. The findings were analysed using a qualitative methodology called causal layered analysis.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></em><em>Six attractors emerged that contribute to reducing the aggregate community</em><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>viral load,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em>and three attractors<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></em><em>emerged that detract from that ambition.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></em><em>The first pilot has provided insights into improving the framework and has had an impact at multiple scales suggesting that the framework is a promising tool for engaging with the bio-social aspects of the contemporary epidemic.</em></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; "><br><span style="color: rgb(0, 111, 201); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', fantasy, cursive; ">Retrieve full text in PDF</span>:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://www.societyforchaostheory.org/ndpls/indexes_citations/files/art2001-4LITE.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.societyforchaostheory.org/ndpls/indexes_citations/files/art2001-4LITE.pdf</a><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><span style="color: rgb(0, 111, 201); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', fantasy, cursive; font-size: 10pt; ">Ready for more?
