Branding
Pre-fabricate?
But its not pre-fabricated its almost post-fabricated
narrative/story/tale
user dimension/interaction
how? paint/draw/sew
maybe no branding? - giveaway
space for personal branding?
embroidered logo? - symbol so as to not give anything away?
how secretive?
What would be a symbol suggesting narrative?
equation of line (life line)? or curve? or circle?
something to represent 4D frame?
The Pacthwork Quilt as a story teller
The patchwork quilt acts as the narrative past of a person, event or object. Each patch on the quilt tells a different stage of the story in how this person/thing came to be.
By making a plain patchwork quilt from canvas I will be producing a product which can be used to fabricate this history creating the thorough, committed element of design needed for belief in a narrative (see operation mincemeat) - Design Commitment.
You could fabricate anything from awards, qualifications, weddings, children, birth place... possibilities are infinite.

The Quilt - family history
There are many traditions regarding the design and characteristics of quilts, and they may be made or given to mark important life events such as marriage, the birth of a child, a family member leaving home, or graduations. Modern quilts are not always intended for use as bedding, and may be used as wall hangings, table runners, or tablecloth.The quilt is passed down in families as a visual representation of their past that has led upto today. It therefore stands as a product of a person's background. We are moulded from birth by nature and nurture to follow to a certain extend the beliefs and goals of our family thus we are a product of a combination of every member before us.
If we were to remove the family and place a new born in a new environment, only then could we say that they were not plaigurising elements of people before them. The only way a person could be said to stand out from their natural environment (opposite of camouflage) would be to remove this family history.
To visually represent this I will be creating a quilt from plain canvas to represent the blank family history required of the truley induvidual person. The use of canvas represtents a 'blank canvas' on which this person can now build their life.

You could/You should
I think it would be poignant to play with the concept of what you could do but shouldn't.
Perhaps I could embed this in the production of the pi
ece e.g. embroidery poster? Works in theory but unpractical and of little benefit.
Indirect answers and cooperation: On Asher and Lascarides’s ‘Making the right commitments in dialogue’

Abstract This commentary argues that linguistic cooperation is essential even
in discourse situations in which the nonlinguistic preferences of the participants
are misaligned. The central examples involve indirect answers to direct questions.
3 Indirect answers and non-cognitive IQAP
My empirical focus is on question–answer pairs in which the answer is semantically
(but not pragmatically) unrelated to the question.
