Jessie Lydia Henshaw
Research Natural Systems Scientist and Teacher
at HDS Natural Systems Design Science
Awarded, for her creative work and presence in the struggle to understand what's happening to humanity and our role in life on earth.
– The first hint of the real problem was her noticing, in a 1964 freshman physics class, that physics was a study of things represented as formulas, which meant physics couldn't study creative processes as such. That nature is overwhelmingly composed of creative and evolving designs and processes seemed to present a problem. How big a problem that was wasn’t realized till much later, however not forgotten. When later studying growth processes it became clear that growth couldn’t work unless it was led by exploratory processes, as they emerge from their own contexts, much like organisms, weather, or even laughter, from some germinal coupling that exploits its surroundings, and has to keep going elsewhere to continue. In a creative world, nature has to build its designs as there aren’t any otherwise.
– Once looked at as an interesting question, science lost interest, not seeing where to start. Jessie took the approach that perhaps we just needed to see what was happening more clearly. The most obvious leading indicator is that both the conservation of energy and visual inspection suggested growth always began with an unbounded process of organization, not mathematical calculation, to make a working system. That seems to tell us a great deal that a temporary startup process is needed and to continue, would have to trigger its own change in design. That humanity is not changing its growth design seems to be a curious, hidden-in-plain-sight problem for us.
