Hi David... I guess the question for me would be: What do you mean by safe? If 
safe mean something like total stasis where nothing changes and everything is 
known in advance -- then I am sure self organization, which is actually just 
another name for evolution, would be slithery slow. After all, evolution/self 
organization proceeds relative to the challenges it faces. No challenge/ no 
proceeding. But I can't imagine any situation on this planet/solar 
system/galaxy/cosmos that ever achieves stasis except maybe when it is all over 
and dead as a door nail. And then who cares? Or maybe we will... but from 
another dimension. Or whatever.

Subject: [OSList] A Question About Safety

Greetings all, 

I have questions about safety related to self-organization I would love others 
thoughts on. 

Is it possible for an environment can be too safe to support self-organization? 
Can safety be at such a high level that it inhibits or slows down the 
self-organizing process?

I'm very interested to hear others perspectives.

Best to all,

David
