is a trial and error evolutionary process. Thus it is best left to small
creative startup organizations that have less previous financial success
and organizational structure at stake. It is a disruptive media-ecology
based technology that will over take its older more linear corporate
competitors. The recurring core themes applicable to building an
organic-collaborative-community are best drawn from the following
works:
Living Systems / plus other titles - James Grier Miller
Godel, Escher, Bach - Douglas R. Hofstadter
Marshall Mcluhan -
if the medium is the message (and it most certainly is!)
then the internet as a medium embodies the following message:
an unlimited, instantaneous, organically dynamic, neural-network of
interconnected collaborative social experience, data, knowledge,
analysis and stakeholder mediated social process execution
in short the message embossed upon our social fabric by the internet
as a medium will ultimately embody the core recurring dynamics
inherent in all stable organic living systems, homeostasis, via
distributed redundancy of all key function - i.e. distributed redundancy
of wealth, power, education and control
In other words, when you take time out of the formula for social
evolution, it is just a matter of time before, that just so magically
optimal, organic social homeostasis, is teased out of the full range of
emergent possibilities inherent in this medium we call the internet
