Welcome to T192, a research and development project exploring modern solutions for collaboration architecture. This repository embodies the Dopamine Design Canvas, a framework for designing dynamic, stimulating collaboration spaces—both digital and physical.

• Purpose: To model and experiment with new ways of structuring collaborative environments, applying principles from neuroscience (dopamine mechanics), architecture, and systems thinking.
• Inspiration: The Dopamine Design Canvas aims to make collaboration feel rewarding, efficient, and sustainable by aligning space design with motivational cues.

• Collaboration Space: A flexible, modular system supporting multiple interaction modalities (synchronous, asynchronous, remote, in-person).
• Dopamine Design Canvas: A blueprint/principle set for architecting environments that boost creative engagement and productivity.

The project identifies 10 specific triggers used to design collaborative environments:

• Shared Goals: Celebrating micro-wins.
• Social Belonging: Mutual recognition and kudos.
• Curiosity: Exploration via digital "sandboxes."
• Self-Efficacy: Visible individual impact (badges).
• Reflection: Documenting progress and growth.
• Immediacy: Real-time feedback loops.
• Gamification: Framing work as "quests" with progress bars.
• Synchronization: Collective flow through real-time co-creation.
• Identity: Connecting work to a larger mission.
• Metacognition: Reviewing "highlight reels" of team wins.

The repository defines a structured 5-channel layout for digital environments:

1. Channel 01: Mission Control (Identity/Serotonin) – Manifestos and impact metrics.
2. Channel 02: The Lab (Novelty/Dopamine) – Prototyping and experiments.
3. Channel 03: Quest Board (Anticipation/Dopamine) – Gamified sprint goals.
4. Channel 04: Watercooler Wins (Belonging/Oxytocin) – Social recognition and kudos.
5. Channel 05: The Archives (Pride/Serotonin) – Knowledge base and retrospectives.

• Daily Quest Log: A standup focused on "slaying monsters" (tasks) and identifying "support mages" (collaborators).
• Spark Session: 25-minute silent co-working blocks followed by rapid-fire demos.
• Level Up Retro: Weekly sessions for "Loot Drops" (wins) and "Experience Points" (learning).

• Dopamine Gold (#FFD700): Progress bars and alerts.
• Oxytocin Warmth (#FF6B6B): Mentions and social reactions.
• Serotonin Calm (#4ECDC4): Completed tasks and archives.
• Flow Focus (#1A1A2E): Deep work backgrounds.

A conceptual bot logic designed to:

• Post "First Blood" GIFs for the first task completed daily.
• Pair team members for "Random Coffee" chats.
• Activate "Flow Guard" to auto-reply to DMs during deep work.
• Track contribution streaks with "On Fire" emojis.

• Async Comms: Slack/Discord (Custom emojis, "Wins" channels).
• Project Management: Trello (Confetti effects, cards as "Quests").
• Co-Creation: Miro (Visible timers, voting plugins).

• dopamine_design_canvas.md: The underlying psychological framework and triggers.
• collaboration_space_architecture.md: The technical blueprint for channel structure, UI, and rituals.
