Now this is becoming very interesting, Artur and Reinhard! Of course, it is possible to close the space or try it.

David, Having read your later explanation of "safe", I feel it's also useful to look a bit closer at "self-organization". From a systemic perspective, it is impossible for a complex system (like an org, or a group of people within) to *not* self-organize. It does not matter whether conditions
