- This paper examines the role of representational artefacts in distributed sensemaking. Affordances can furnish sensemakers with the ability to perform tasks that may be difficult to do inside the head, and aid colleagues in developing an understanding. Current theories of sensemaking recognise do not recognize the role of external representations in much depth. This paper is significant because it provides a case study, and introduces a conceptual model consisting of inference trajectories, which may decompose sensemaking into a series of steps, each of which refinesinges the situation picture. This work was funded by the UK Defence Science and Technology Laboratory.
