This process inevitably involves the creation of things outside the definition and other things which are the scrap produced by the shaping process. The World Wide Web itself is a perfect metaphor for the Third Wave. No single reference frame. Things happen very fast, change is continous in every way. Information and ideas flow everywhere to anyone and from anyone.
Hierarchies break down.
Nothing can stop it but anything that tries to soon finds itself the object of scrutiny and response. Friends, alliances, and actions can emerge overnight. Distances have little meaning beyond the seconds it takes to move packets from one point on the planet to another. As conventional structures and the preconditioned judgements of physical encounters break down in the world of cyberspace, a new community of mind emerges that reflects some of the tribal awareness of the First Wave but with a major difference. The difference is diversity, the rainbow play of uncounted viewframes.
