As a result flexibility, in the sense of having a variety of alternatives, evolves over a series of decisions. The goal is generally organized in three parts, paralleling the three areas of the Whole. The first part, Quality of Life, is directly focused on the people in the community, and what is needed to bring them into a living relationship of a healthy happy community. This is, of course a never-ending process, and the specific features may change. However, the main features of this portion of the goal reflect the values shared by the people.
More diverse groups have more abstract goals of the deeper values.
The second part addresses the activities or conditions that attract resources to support the quality of life defined by the first part. The important thing is to omit unnecessary restrictive parts, particularly the designation of tools or particular approaches of operation. These are necessarily incomplete for the future, but, more importantly, they are the source of disagreement in the group. In a classroom community, this may be the projects and activities that yield grades, but also contribute to the education as needed for individual students' goal. This illustrates how each person is a member of many communities, but if their goals in different communities are based on a consistent value based understanding, all of their actions contribute to both personal and group goals.
