Synthesis: core guiding docs

Hi Leslie,

Here are the core documents guiding Synthesis, and the earlier experiment, the Topological Media Lab.
My main project is transplanting a fresh version of research-creation to the United States.
The experiment is to see how ASU can be a site for amplifying this fusion  "alchemy” to new domains of everyday sociotechnical/cultural practice, extending it beyond art and engineering research, and to find international links…

The most detailed snapshot of the organizational workings is in https://www.academia.edu/1537746/The_Atelier-Lab_as_a_Transversal_Machine
and in chapter 7 of my “Poiesis” book.
