We definitely need better models of complex system events. Here\u2019s another, to help imagine growth as a spontaneous evolutionary process, as if an organizational \u2018fire\u2019 that begins with a \u2019spark\u2019 of change.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s obvious enough that growth systems produce rapid change in complex systems without a template or discrete determinants from the outside, but growth is often so smooth, fast, and \u2019sure footed\u2019 that it\u2019s hard to imagine it as evolutionary. Maybe this alternate model helps, by<\/p>\n
telling the story of a complex system step change by growth as if in QM notation \u2018before||after\u2019, with the period between the marks consisting of an evolving internal process discovering its place in an unknown<\/p>\n
world. It starts with the generally unobservable \u2018earth shaking boom\u2019<\/p>\n
of an unstable pattern of change forming that will multiply dramatically, zooming to a point of discovering it\u2019s own limits and a \u2018big wow\u2019 as the future comes into its view, to perhaps then be transformed by that reversal in the environmental responses into a sustainable system.<\/p>\n

something clicks, takes off, discovers it\u2019s place, and settles in<\/p>\n
During the \u2018zoom\u2019 the environment appears limitless from the perspective of the growth cell, and in the \u2018ahhh\u2013\u2019 the stabilization of new form becomes satisfying by resolving the start-up cell\u2019s unstable contradictions. Humanity\u2019s institutional rules that the \u2018zoom\u2019 is never to be allowed to stop\u2026. seem to be a natural misunderstanding coming from our being swept up in a vast change in reality.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s good to note that in living systems what comes \u2018after\u2019 is often unequivocally the best part.<\/p>\n
