 When an experiment is performed once, it brings a few insights. But to confirm these insights, replication is needed. When an experiment is performed once, it brings a few insights. But to confirm these insights, replication is needed.

 +I spent most of my autumn expanding the positive experiences I had this year. I went one week in Paris, for a symposium on Biomimicry, and another one on Technique & Degrowth. Then, I brought my microbial fuel cells to Marseille for the Waht the flok ? festival. Guillian Graves and I gave a talk about our Biomimetic Kettle in the European Center of Excellence in Biomimicry (Senlis, France) and in Brest. I went to Lausanne, to discuss a potential inclusion in a start-up, and enjoyed the NipConf. Finally, I brought the microbial fuel cells back to Nantes for a workshop at Plateforme C, Ping's fablab. Besides this, I performed some research on microbial fuel cells here in Brussels.

 +All of these experiments were positive, and confirmed that I was heading the right way for my post-Transiency life.

 +I was left with the tricky part: designing the lifestyle. Now that I knew most of the components, how could I fit them together in an smooth way ?
 +
 +Travelling around to meet people and do stuff with them. Mostly people with low budgets. Keeping a freedom of actions & movement while still earning some money.
 +
 +The current hypothesis I will try from January on is the following:
 +   * Most of my income may come from my work at a small start-up, based in Lausanne, and dealing with artificial closed ecosystem. It is going to be a very interesting job, in an entrepreneurial contexte, in which we will develop useful technologies for depollution, ecosystem restauration, and recycling. As I will most probably be working 20% (one week a month) in Lausanne, I will have three to four weeks a month free.
 +   * During these periods, I will partly be traveling around to meet & visit interesting people working in "edgy" multi-disciplinary communities.
 +   * I will also spend some time in Brussels, meeting the local communities here I did not take the time to visit yet, and keeping some days available to start new projects at FoAM. I want also to keep some time to read, and explore Belgium more seriously than I did so far.
 +   * I will keep spending some time with people I like, both in Brussels and elsewhere, and some time wandering around, to let space for things to happen.
