The collaborative dimension that is a premise of GATE’s platform, finds its roots in the belief that knowledge is generated by sharing, while still navigating in a space of autonomy and freedom. Transdisciplinarity suggests that a single view point (or discipline) does not exist, while multiple views of the same topic of study can be expressed. Technology, nowadays, should base its foundation on this collaborative dimension. However, the web, which often seems to be idolised by multiple organizations, either censures all the possible and infinite bifurcations of thought - the latter being, indeed, the source of knowledge - or, at the very least, tends to control its dissemination. Censorship is known, throughout history, to have thrown many nets.
