Co-design and System Dynamics seem to provide similar capabilities and intuitive power. There is likely a way to connect the two paradigms formally using category theory.

Believing there are better or worse outcomes implies certain partial orders, the interfaces in co-design problems. How can these moral values be equitably surfaced and solicited when designing complex systems?

Small urban spaces are only small urban pieces of a greater city system. The compositional nature of co-design presents an opportunity to use many different representative design problems to build out a composable, category-theoretic image of the city.
