Incremental Networked Learning is the process of steadily gathering, integrating, and relating small units of knowledge over time, allowing understanding to emerge not from isolated facts, but from the living web of their interconnections.
It recognizes that meaning grows not by accumulation alone, but by association. Knowledge becomes wisdom when fragments are continually woven into richer, more intricate structures that resonate by way of, and throughout, all ways of knowing.
In this way, learning becomes a dynamic, compounding system: a self-renewing network where the value of each part is amplified by the richness of its connections.
- Relational first: Knowledge is valuable not merely in isolation but in how it fits, contrasts, and deepens the greater web.
- Dynamic, living structures: Knowledge is not a static archive but an evolving ecosystem.
- Trust in compounding: Tiny integrations, when sustained, lead to profound cognitive and personal transformation.
- Embracing partiality: No single learning act is complete; understanding is perpetually under construction.
- Emergence over assembly: New structures of meaning arise organically through connection, not by forceful construction.
