Part II. About the iLRN Futures Guild Codex 2.1  The Fundamental Two-Section Page Structure Every page in the Immersive Futures Guild Codex — with only rare exception — is organized into two sections. This is the defining architectural principle of this Guild’s Codex, distinguishing it from general-purpose Codex or the other two Guilds’ deployments and from static knowledge repositories. Section Name Content Status Part I Foresight Snapshot Time-stamped Circle of Scholars workshop synthesis; core claims; dimensions; tensions; Ways of Knowing links; architecture connections FIXED — Time-stamped; revised only by formal versioning Part II Community Evidence & Dialogue Track Community contributions organized by category; tension response spaces; evidence registers; Tally.so form integration; synthesis notes LIVING — H2 cycle; rolling contributions; synthesis reviews at 3 points 2.2  Four-Layer Content Architecture Within the two-section structure, Guild Codex pages are organized into four possible content layers. All four layers follow the same Part I / Part II architecture; they differ in the type of foresight content they carry. Layer 1 – Atomic Foresight Objects shall all be applied at a base level evenly across all category pages; Layer 2 – Narrative Assemblages (Scenarios) are dependent on author assignments within the Guild; Layer 3 is moderated by the Scientific Quality Assurance & Publications team guidelines and volunteers able to administer the respective volume of community response to respected Immersive Futures content areas; and Layer 4 is interconnected with the operational and community stewardship of iLRN, thus is dependent on and controlled by the Executive and iLRN Leadership Teams.  Layer 1 — Atomic Foresight Objects (Cards) Societal Challenge Cards (SC)    — broad social conditions shaping immersive learning futures Future Technology Possibility Cards (FT)    — technologies plausible within a 10–20 year horizon Historical Technology Shift Cards (HT)    — transitions that have occurred and shaped the present Educational Transformation Cards (ET)    — structural shifts in educational organization and delivery Layer 2 — Narrative Assemblages (Scenarios) Scenario Pages assemble multiple cards into coherent future world-pictures. They are analytical tools for structured futures thinking — not predictions. Scenarios carry their own Part I (Circle of Scholars narrative synthesis) and Part II (community scenario testing). Layer 3 — Research Coordination Infrastructure (Strands) Research Strand Pages are long-term coordination nodes organizing open questions, methodologies, and ethical considerations. They connect Guild foresight work to the iLRN Knowledge Tree evidence base. Strand Part I documents Circle of Scholars research agenda synthesis; Strand Part II collects field-wide community input. Layer 4 — Operational & Community Knowledge Papers, Projects, Exemplars, Design Patterns, Communities of Practice, Toolkits, Methods, Events These pages document specific outputs and communities connected to the Guild's foresight work. Layer 4 pages follow a simplified version of the two-section structure. 2.3  The Annual Foresight Calendar The Guild Codex operates on a structured annual calendar that governs when cards are produced, when evidence tracks open, and when syntheses are reviewed. All Guild Codex activities are anchored to this calendar. Period Phase Activities January Circle of Scholars Workshop Annual workshop(s): produce new cards; version existing Part I content based on prior year evidence track; assign new Tally.so forms Feb–May Part I Completion & Review Workshop outputs refined and published; cross-links established; Tally.so forms built and linked; Part II scaffolding prepared June 30 Part I Deadline All Part I content for the cycle finalized and published; Tally.so forms activated; Part II sections opened to public view July 1 Part II Opens Community evidence tracks open; contribution forms activated; editorial review of submissions begins September Midpoint Synthesis First synthesis of received contributions; synthesis notes added to Part II; iLRN Conference integration if applicable November Late Synthesis Second synthesis pass; emerging tensions identified; versioning recommendations drafted if warranted December 31 Part II Closes Contribution forms deactivated (forms archived); final synthesis notes completed; handoff memo prepared for January Circle January (next) Annual Handoff Circle of Scholars reviews prior year evidence; decides on Part I versioning; opens new cycle; new Tally.so forms assigned 2.4  The Tally.so Form Architecture Every Guild Codex page is paired with a unique Tally.so form that serves as the primary submission mechanism for Part II contributions. These forms are structural infrastructure — they are not optional feedback channels, and they persist for the full H2 cycle before being archived and replaced for the next cycle. 2.4.1  Form URL Convention All Guild Codex contribution forms follow a standardized URL pattern: Tally.so URL Convention Base:   https://tally.so/r/ilrn-if-[card-code]-[year] Card code components:   [type-prefix]-[shortname]-[year]   Type prefixes:  sc  (Societal Challenge)  |  ft  (Future Technology)  |  ht  (Historical Shift)  |  et  (Educational Transformation)   Scenario prefix:  scn  |  Research Strand prefix:  str Examples:   SC: Care, Culture & Community  →  https://tally.so/r/ilrn-if-sc-ccc-2026   FT: Agentic AI  →  https://tally.so/r/ilrn-if-ft-agentai-2026   SCENARIO: Extractive Surveillance  →  https://tally.so/r/ilrn-if-scn-extractive-2026   STRAND: Embodied Cognition & Learning  →  https://tally.so/r/ilrn-if-str-embodied-2026 2.4.2  Standard Form Fields All Guild Codex Tally.so forms share a standard field structure. Card-specific forms may add supplementary fields but must not remove standard fields. Field Type Required?

Yes/No Required If yes, affiliation is displayed but name is replaced with [Contributor] 2.4.3  Form Management Protocol Forms are built and activated by the Codex Administrator no later than June 15 of each cycle year. Form URLs are embedded in both the card's Part II section and the card's metadata table. Submissions are reviewed weekly by the assigned Category Steward; eligible submissions appear in Part II within 10 business days. At each synthesis review point (September, November), the Tally.so response export is archived to the Guild Codex operations folder. At December 31, forms are deactivated and marked as archived. The URL is retained in the card's revision log for reference. New cycle forms receive a new year suffix (e.g., -2027) and are linked from the card's updated Part II section.
