XLP as an operational framework for learning organizations provides access to and enables data-driven experiential learning based on threaded cognitive learning mechanisms (‘ecorithms’ ). These can be described in terms of step-by-step procedures and protocols for sourcing, evaluating and processing information. (fig. 2)

Figure 2. XLP as an operating system
Like any operating system, XLP provides authentication and access control, scheduling and process management, and file and device management (Figure 2). In the concrete, XLP requires participants to execute tasks by using a set of common digital tools that differ in function and granularity. Once the XLP universe is called into being by granting a digital identity to the participants, they arrange and monitor their activities through a web-based project management and collaboration tool. File and device management is regulated using digital tools for capturing random notes, file sharing, and digital open source publishing. These tools should be standardized, and all XLP participants must learn to use these common tool sets in one unifying workflow.
