Scene Technology

We imagine a Writers Room as a small learning pod, usually between five and eight people (though never more than fifteen), meeting online through chat, audio or video. The rhythm is simple: we gather to share, then go into a solipsistic writing phase in our own wikis, often for twenty minutes, before returning to celebrate what has been produced. We can see dozens of new pages appear in real time, explore links, raise questions and then repeat the cycle. Sometimes we add paired writing where two people collaborate, one writing and one observing or researching, giving encouragement and feedback in a mentoring or reverse-mentoring dynamic.

We imagine the results of these sessions as Beats that can be assembled into Scenes. A beat is a discrete unit of contribution such as a page or a recording, while a scene is a map of beats with visual or iconic representation (such as a sketch or SVG symbol). At the end of a Writers Room session we compose one or more scenes that serve as a kind of cinematic summary of the group’s thinking. This goes beyond tools like Miro, because we want to achieve a particular style that matches the Hitchhiker Narrative with a sense of beauty, coherence and pride in the published outcome.

We imagine building this directly into the app so that anyone can produce maps and scenes without specialist tools or outside costs. The technical path includes knowledge-graph style mapping, hierarchical maps within maps and the use of SVG icons generated by prompts or hand-drawn sketches. A scene can therefore exist both as a map and as a drawing, offering two views of the same idea. This dual representation supports the broader flow of beats, scenes and sagas, creating a navigable and memorable record of collaborative writing that feels both playful and rigorous.
