hi all... anybody here on the list done any thinking about how ost syncs up with the work on pattern languages and the nature of order by chris alexander and the agile/xp software development crowd?
seems to directly parallel complexity and ost work we usually talk about here. i've written a paper on this today that is in the Notebook at http://www.globalchicago.net. the paper that gave rise to this paper of mine is just fascinating, talking about using software, and the "wholeness and life in it" as the basis for moving human attention in the direction of creating a more Living World. talk of Centers seems to parallel what you have called Myth, Harrison. design and development process is labelled as self-preserving and self-enhancing transformation. wondering if there aren't more bridges to be found here. might be of interest in the Plexus conversations. michael herman -- Michael Herman Michael Herman Associates 300 West North Avenue #1105 Chicago IL 60610 USA (312) 280-7838 http://www.michaelherman.com - consulting & publications http://www.globalchicago.net - laboratory & playground http://www.openspaceworld.org - worldwide open space ...inviting organization into movement * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected], Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html
