* Resilience instead of strength, which means you want to yield and allow failure and you bounce back instead of trying to resist failure. * You pull instead of push. That means you pull the resources from the network as you need them, as opposed to centrally stocking them and controlling them. * You want to take risk instead of focusing on safety. * You want to focus on the system instead of objects. * You want to have good compasses not maps. * You want to work on practice instead of theory. Because sometimes you don’t why it works, but what is important is that it is working, not that you have some theory around it. * It disobedience instead of compliance. You don’t get a Nobel Prize for doing what you are told. Too much of school is about obedience, we should really be celebrating disobedience. * It’s the crowd instead of experts. * It’s a focus on learning instead of education.

Design is on the move: it is migrating from the rigid domain of bureaucracy towards the rhizomatic realm of adhocracy.

Kevin: i think you may have the same type of insanity as chuck moore: http://www.colorforth.com/map.htm me: I'm not sure if that one comes in pill form, but if it does, I'm going to find out what it is and take a lot of it Kevin: comparch project idea: teach the timecube guy verilog and then write an assembler for the resulting CPU ----- > The Map is Not the Territory > > This observation by Alfred Korzybski applies in several ways to GreenArrays' multi-computer chip. It says that a map cannot be complete. That a model cannot capture everything. That reality exceeds our ability to understand.

What binds us all together is a deep, almost obsessive love for the beautiful experience: that moment when an object, space or event makes a powerful connection with the person experiencing it, creating meaning where there was none.
