Properties of living systems
- A living system only accepts its own solutions
- A living system only pays attention to that which is meaningful to it
- In nature a living system participates in the development of its neighbour
- Nature and all of nature, including ourselves is in constant change
- Nature seeks diversity – new relations open up to new possibilities
- ‘Tinkering’ opens up to what is possible here and now
- A living system cannot be steered or controlled
- A system changes when its perception of itself changes.
- All the answers do not exist ‘out there’
- Who we are together is always different and more than who we are alone
- We are capable of self-organising – given the right conditions
- Self-organisation shifts to a higher order
