cha-ordic thinking

It's summer holiday time. Since two years this means 'writing time' for my Phd project. It's beautiful weather, I feel less tired (the start of my study asked so much more energy than I expected) and I am really in to it now. After my dive in quantummechanics to find out the characteristics of the organization as an "orgmind", at this moment it's all about: Chaos and Complexity Theory. Attractors, bifurcation, dissipation, butterfly effect, holons, autopoieses,.......... It's so inspiring to discover all the links beween them, since they all lead to just one 'truth', the world you see when you' look through your Chaos lens on. I use Chaordic Systems Thinking, worked out by van Eijnatten, Fitzgerald et al. Funny to see that in essence it seems to be quiet the same as Complex Adaptive Systems, elaborated by Stacey, Holland and Saskia Harkema in The Netherlands. We all seem to want to approach reality from different angles. So even within one stage, let's call it the integral/holistic worldview (Wilber, Beck) we have different preferences and views of that one "truth". Though as far as I found, there is no arguing about who's thruth is more true. So there is a difference. The difference is, they don't differ. Long live the paradoxes!

Hello, I am very interested in these topics and have been developing material to that effect. I first picked you up on linkedIn after searching groups for the word Chaordic.

I would be extremely interested in your perspectives.
