From www.seeingfiel...:
* This introduction to systems science, also known as complexity science, awakens new perceptions and illuminates a universal way to observe and interact with everything. The science of atoms, stars, and ecosystems, of politics, economics, and technology, and of the Golden Rule, the Middle Way, and karma describes how all is using energy and information to organize into networks within networks, cycling and syncing, evolving and emerging.
* Seeing, the first field guide to these patterns and processes, offers a world alive with change and possibility for ourselves, families, communities, technologies, and environment.
From the first chapter excerpted at mauiinstitute....
* Systems science observes the regularities-the patterns of interactivity-that organize all things and all activities.
* This field guide models these regularities as systems processes. Examples are networks, feedback, boundary, bond, cycle, evolution, and more. Most of these systems processes can be modeled using simple computer applications.
* Systems Processes Theory, the brainchild of evolutionary biologist and systems theorist Lenard Troncale, tells the story of how the regularities-the systems processes-interact to emerge as nature’s systems.
