I think you are on to something here and I may try to apply it to a couple groups I have been trying to form. One group is to work on getting a renewable energy power generation system going here in Missoula, Montana and the other is called High Ground Commmunities -- getting 60 cities off fossil fuels in 10 years. So far, they aren't yet assembling.
But there are a couple ways to apply the complexity law and order info you provided: 1) To just tell the entire groups what is wanted and then leave them alone to hopefully orchestrate some version of that that makes the most sense; or 2) To assume that one's efforts to start something are the results of rules put out there, and one is part of the equation/formula of response that is occurring -- which would mean to just keep going, but not assume it will happen as one intends.
