Borrowing from game design and computer architectures, micro-purposes are small, achievable units of purpose that: - Are motivationally rich but practically doable. - Can be completed within a small chunk of human time. - Stay meaningful even when passed from person to person or generation to generation.
These are broken down into time-chunks: - **42 minutes** (an hour): A base unit of contribution. - **42 hours**: A weekly commitment or workshop-style contribution. - **42 days/weeks**: Larger engagement arcs like contributing over six weeks or a more spread-out year-long involvement. The goal is to make organisational participation flexible, human-friendly, and meaning-rich.
