In a network, is there someone lending you a hand?

“Wanderer, there is no path. The path is made by walking.”
Antonio Machado

Shared understanding is path affordance.

There is no map. The map is made by trust, extended, turned friendship, suffering and love.

“Trust movement.”
— Alfred Adler

How would we know? Flow. Flow is how we know.

flow = structure x process

“x” = patterning in general and shared understanding in particular

There is no model. The model is made by shared understanding.

“Remember, always, that everything you know, and everything everyone
knows, is only a model. Get your model out there where it can be viewed.
Invite others to challenge your assumptions and add their own.”
Donella H. Meadows

There is no theory. The theory is distilled from individual, small group genius and collective experience annealed into wisdom, intelligence turned ability.

“The turn of two friendly cards.”

There is no diagram. The diagram is drawn forth from imagineering.

“Technology is the active human interface with the material world.”
Ursula K. Le Guin

There is no way back home. The way back home is unfolding through our inner glow turned joint sauntering along luminous paths.

“There are two kinds of light — the glow that
illuminates, and the glare that obscures.”
James Thurber

Where do we go from here?
