Pattern Languages

[Michael Herman]

hi all...

anybody here on the list done any thinking about how ost syncs up with
the work on pattern languages and the nature of order by chris alexander
and the agile/xp software development crowd?

seems to directly parallel complexity and ost work we usually talk about
here.   i've written a paper on this today that is in the Notebook at
http://www.globalchicago.net.  the paper that gave rise to this paper of
mine is just fascinating, talking about using software, and the
"wholeness and life in it" as the basis for moving human attention in
the direction of creating a more Living World.  talk of Centers seems to
parallel what you have called Myth, Harrison.  design and development
process is labelled as self-preserving and self-enhancing transformation.

wondering if there aren't more bridges to be found here.  might be of
interest in the Plexus conversations.
