<\/a><\/p>\nMaking Connections in life\u00a0mysteriously needs to start and finish, and then perhaps establish a\u00a0long\u00a0sustained or a short relationship. \u00a0Often we don’t see quite what’s happening till it’s either all over, or has really begun to noticeably develop and notice the rapid rates of change.<\/p>\n
Sometimes we have an ‘inkling’ that something is changing at the very beginning, before anything really observable is apparent, as if becoming aware of the ‘germination’ of the whole event with an initially very slow building of a “new pattern”. \u00a0It may be that intuiting “something changed” is experienced a bit like “feeling a change in the force” . \u00a0 We may\u00a0imagine foresight for things that don’t develop, of course, and learn to just be watchful and not jump to conclusions, but wait till a real pattern of proportional scales of accumulation are\u00a0evident. \u00a0\u00a0 That’s ‘the pattern’ of systemic transformation.<\/p>\n
What is perhaps the best indicator is always the “building process”, that as the illustration indicates is very much the same accelerating then decelerating accumulation of working parts. \u00a0 It’s *not* a numerical process, but if you notice the scales of change changing scale it can help you locate what is really working.<\/p>\n
The illustration is\u00a0of course also about the connections between the natural system processes of building, and the learning processes of building, and the holistic\u00a0design processes of building, that I hope to get to see emerging as a “connection”! \u00a0 The PURPLSOC meeting\u00a0“Elements”\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0and \u00a0PLoP meeting\u00a0“Mining Living Quality”<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0papers on “Guiding patterns of Naturally Occurring Design<\/strong>“, are full of these stories, maybe too much to enjoy all at once till you get a feel for this unusual way of approaching the study of “how things work”.<\/p>\n You might try a novel way of reading, other than beginning to end. \u00a0One I often use with new books on\u00a0unfamiliar topics is just “picking a few sentences at random” to\u00a0see if they go anywhere for me, or trying the discussion topics at the end of sections or the whole work. \u00a0 \u00a0Today I’m writing\u00a0this post to take a break from the long task of doing the final edit of the main papers, seeing a need to have ‘something’ new on RNS,\u00a0having\u00a0noticed some\u00a0scratch notes for the illustration made a couple\u00a0weeks ago I thought would be fun to work on.<\/p>\n jlh<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We talk about making connections… . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\u00a0but what is it that actually “connects”?
