Thanks.
Alexander's concept of nesting feels a bit more wobbly than the picture
of the holarchy you have triggered in me. The holarchy I am picturing is

To me, the core of OST is about selforganisation. Its a pretty neat
technology to have time and space for selforganisation unfold more than
in any other setting I know of. In fact, it

Very well said Wendy!
“confused technology with strategy” and “whoring away at influence and power
