Living systems

A Natural Approach to Organising Life
- A living system only accepts its own solutions (we only support those things we are a part of creating)
- A living system only pays attention to that which is meaningful to it (here and now)
- In nature a living system participates in the development of its neighbour (an isolated system is doomed)
- Nature and all of nature, including ourselves is in constant change (without ‘change management’)
- Nature seeks diversity – new relations open up to new possibilities (not survival of the fittest)
- ‘Tinkering’ opens up to what is possible here and now – nature is not intent on finding perfect solutions
- A living system cannot be steered or controlled – they can only be teased, nudged, titillated
- A system changes (identity) when its perception of itself changes
- All the answers do not exist ‘out there’ – we must (sometimes) experiment to find out what works
- Who we are together is always different and more than who we are alone (possibility of emergence)
- We (human beings) are capable of self-organising – given the right conditions
- Self-organisation shifts to a higher order
