The Conversation Pattern Language

Conversation Pattern Language is a pattern which describes an overview of conversation for collaboration. These conversations allow the declaration of Contexts, which can be other pattern languages, allowing a group to name its patterns of discourse, as well as evolve them over time. This language allows a conversation to evolve over time, coevolving what we know with what we don't know. Some of these patterns which may shape this process are listed below.
