1. STRUCTURAL SYNTHESIS BY DESTINATION

Across the contributions, the CORE seems characterised by existential questioning and a search for grounding:

Strong emphasis on inner skills, introspection, “where am I starting from?”, confusion about purpose.
A recurrent desire to make abstract visions tangible (“I make abstract future visions concrete”, “help convince EU institutions”, “translate between media”).
Recognition of foundational democratic functions: free speech, systems change, human dignity, “supporting supporters”.
A shared worry that organisations have drifted away from their deeper purpose or “room of shared ceiling.”

Emerging CORE function:

Meaning-making, translation, holding democratic ground, and restoring human connection in a complex system.

The contributions in this category show broad relational landscapes but also diffused identity:

The collective is described as “society”, “civil society”, “cultural actors”, “visitors/users”, “taxpayers—sometimes unknowingly.”
Several comments highlight roles in healing, guiding, helping people “become the best version of themselves.”
Strong desire for explicit shared ground and defying silos.
A recognition that networks are slow-growing capital, but also central to resilience (“we are our network”).

Emerging COLLECTIVE function:

A relational field for trust-building, cross-sector bridges, and shared sense-making—yet lacking clarity on boundaries and mutual expectations.
