Hi Chris, Michael, Thomas and all,
Yes, Thomas. HO mentioned that a lot. The first time I remember was included in
the "OST - A User's NON Guide" (where Chris also participated btw) comparing
the conditions that Kauffman stated for the emergence of life on earth by
self-organization and the preconditions for the use of Open Space
(see page 7, availabe for download from
http://www.michaelherman.com/cgi/wiki.cgi?OpenSpaceTechnology/UsersNonGuide).
Regards
Artur

Hi Chris and all
...what about the conditions for self organization. Don't remember which one of
the HO books maybe several - but remember HO said they were similar to the
conditions for self organizations in the rest of the nature :-). something like
- an important matter, great diversity, high complexity, engagement/conflict of
interests, Urgent/decision time yesterday.
I am on my way to a Julbord - X-mas dinner - with my wife - we are having a
weekend "off" at a nice hotel at the sea - good to have you along :-)
Wishing U all the best
