Welcome to the design-token-context-model wiki.

This repository contains thought experiments related to Context as a first class citizen of design systems of the future.

It encompasses:

• A coordinate system model where context is a multidimensional space
• A tokens-as-policies thesis (tokens are functions, not values)
• Theoretical bridges to embodied AI and cognitive science
• Practical implementations with 10 token collections
• Formal resolution algorithms with conflict handling

Artifacts:

• Design Token Context Ontology Whitepaper
• [Context as Coordinate System: A Theoretical Foundation for Design Token Resolution](https://github.com/ds1/design-token-context-model/wiki/Context-as-* Coordinate-System:-A-Theoretical-Foundation-for-Design-Token-Resolution)
• Coordinate Model and Token Tiers
• Context Coordinate Model Exploration
• Design Tokens for Embodied AI
• Design Systems Single Source of Truth
• Example tokens.json files in this coordinate model
