Abstract

The preceding chapters present a coherent, dynamic model of a self-organizing world. Within this model is proposed a creative and ethical method of decisionmaking and design. In this concluding chapter, the relations between structure and process in the realms of knowledge and being are made explicit. The terrain this book has traversed is put into perspective. Finally, the new methodology that evolves in this book is crystallized. This methodology allows us to deal with enormous complexity, to relate and relate and relate ideas so as to drive out heretofore-unsuspected conclusions and syntheses. Therein lies the elegance and utility of this model.
