You have got to stay with chaos theory for a long time. Peter Senge has said that we have only as much time as we will live, but no longer. Both Russell Ackoff and Margaret Wheatley would agree that our world of inquiry and observation has over-emphasized the parts. Moreover, we are only beginning to understand that our presence can alter events, just as scientific observation alters the phenomenon we hope to observe. A living thing can be seen as information that has taken form.
Information is the source of all change and growth.
Poor information or shunted information kills renewal and growth. The four points mentioned above are taken directly from Margaret Wheatley tapes and lectures presented to Maricopa staff. We are like the beginning of the universe at the sub-atomic level. Visions are forms of the new reality, not unlike an invisible field. Yet they mobilize armies, cause revolutions, and inspire idealism.
