Re: [OSList] Distributing Harrison's The Practice of Peace

Dear Suzanne. As I have comented in the link of the FB you mentioned (bellow), and Alan also re-inforced in a different thread, this was not an Australian OSonOS but a Worldwide OSonOS. The point is that the letter "W" had not yet joined the acronym to give WOSonOS.  A piece oh history then...

Re: [OSList] The OST Game

I don't think self organizing systems are goal seeking systems. By definition, goal seeking systems are homeostatic, and not emergent or transformational. I think self organizing systems are purpose seeking systems; hence, as Peggy says, always looking for new meanings to emerge in a dialectic

Re: [OSList] Is there a Minnesota/Midwest OST peer group out there?

Hi Katie,  So nice to hear from you and the folks out in Minnesota. A good way to start my day!  I have great memories of that week with you all. I am not surprised that so many of you took to Open Space, like I saw you do on that last day where you became the hosting team for a new group of pe

Re: [OSList] Is there a Minnesota/Midwest OST peer group out there?

Thanks Katie, Diane. Off-line Jerry Nagel - http://www.meadowlark.co - was also recommended. Thanks all for being so welcoming. I should mention that many of our connections also go through http://ncdd.org networks. One of my goals is to make sure that folks who have experienced open space/unconf

Re: [OSList] The OST Game

Yeah, yes and yes again, Thank you for this. That's what I've been trying to say and you did it so well. I'm writing poetry today, so much is emerging from this conversation. The one I just wrote: *Hanging out in “I don’t know”* Leaves me Open to new To unbefore thinking Originizing, creat

Re: [OSList] The OST Game

John I like what you say... and given the (only) two conclusions I have managed to reach after all these years: A) All systems are open. B) All systems are self organizing... the devil draws me to a third conclusion. Goal seeking systems are purely a figment of our imagination created in a desperat

Re: [OSList] The OST Game

Or maybe goal setting is just another gorgeous example of the mystery of self-organisation ? Those who cannot hear the music think that the dancer is mad... Warm wishes Paul Levy On Monday, 21 October 2013, Harrison Owen wrote: > John I like what you say... and given the (only) two conclusions

Re: [OSList] The OST Game

Yes, and not every goal seeker is a control freak. Some of us are quite the opposite. Consider the man who loves a certain woman, and waits for the current trend of her interest in him to change. He is goal seeking without controlling. Likewise, trend-following market traders do not attempt
