SUMMARY:Breaking Out of Silos: Seeing Cross-Layer Coordination Failures on 
 the Web

DESCRIPTION:https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/87abb592-ef1a-4120-abc6-efd2
 19d2cadd/\n\nMany of the Web’s hardest problems are no longer protocol-l
 evel failures\, but coordination failures across layers: platforms\, insti
 tutions\, governance\, and interfaces.\n\nFragmentation\, reality collapse
 \, and narrative dominance are often discussed socially or politically\, b
 ut they also reflect a deeper technical condition: context\, provenance\, 
 and accountability do not travel together across today’s Web architectur
 es.\n\nThis session introduces a design challenge framework for “breakin
 g out of silos” by making these hidden constraints visible. Rather than 
 proposing solutions\, we focus on orientation: mapping where coordination 
 breaks\, why certain outcomes feel inevitable\, and where seams might exis
 t for standards\, tooling\, or governance to intervene.\n\nThe goal is not
  consensus or advocacy\, but shared visibility into the systems we are alr
 eady inside.\n\n**Goal(s):**\nTo help participants see the structural cond
 itions shaping today’s web - and collaboratively map where coordination 
 breaks\, power concentrates\, and alternative design paths might still exi
 st.\n\nAgenda\n\nAgenda — Breaking Out: Seeing the System We Are Inside\
 nTotal time: ~90 minutes (adjustable)\n\nArrival & Orientation (5 minutes)
 \nWelcome\nFraming the session: not a game\, not a metaphor — a conditio
 n\nWhat this session is and is not\n\nEntering the System (10 minutes)\nWa
 lking participants into the “room”\nSeeing the walls: platforms\, ince
 ntives\, policies\, algorithms\nEstablishing the clock (structural\, not d
 ramatic)\nGoal: Shared orientation\, not agreement\n\nThe Descent: Levels 
 of Lock-In (20 minutes)\nFragmentation\nReality collapse\nNarrative contro
 l\nInstitutional degradation\nLooking ahead to deeper lock-in\nGoal: Move 
 from isolated symptoms to a layered structural view\n\nPause & Re-Orientat
 ion (5 minutes)\nSilence / reflection\nRe-centering on the question: What 
 are we actually inside of?\n\nMapping Partial Views (20 minutes)\nBreak in
 to small groups or solo work\nEach group surfaces:\nWhat they see clearly\
 nWhat they don’t\nWhere coordination breaks down\nGoal: Put partial view
 s in relation without forcing consensus\n\nUse Case Exploration (20 minute
 s)\nIntroduce the design use cases\nIdentify seams:\nWhere structure might
  be altered\nWhere new coordination could emerge\nFocus on orientation\, n
 ot solutioning\n\nSynthesis & Signals (10 minutes)\nWhat patterns are repe
 ating?\nWhat felt inevitable — and what didn’t?\nWhat became visible t
 hat wasn’t before?\n\nClosing: Your Move (5 minutes)\nReaffirm the goal:
  orientation\nName next steps (design challenge continuation\, CG work\, M
 eta-Layer Week\, etc.)\nEnd with the open question\, not an answer\n\n**Ma
