Exercise : what are 2 of the biggest open space compasses that concern you and how do we connect their living pieces?

[Chris Macrae]

2 dimensions emerging from different big os compasses is much more fascinating 
for me than 1

here’s an example emerging urgently on my mind

1)	www.simpol.org is the pre-eminent open network (and system*system 
architect mapmakers) concerned with the compass of politics sans frontiers – 
what debates do all peoples need to connect in having because the 
sustainability (including freedom and happiness) of 6 billion beings will 
never be solved just by national politics with its separate geo-borders and 
its 4-year time intervals
2)	water : at the end of the day if grown men are going to war over oil 
(which is substitutable) they may do their people harm, but if they will next 
go to war over water; this ends the human race because its not substitutable, 
it cleanliness makes up two thirds of our bodies and their health, and its 
waves propagated by nature care not about men’s borders –indeed demand network 
system * system interfacing of a higher order transparency than confused top-
down leaders can ever map

so those are 2 quite big global compasses

how can we work at our localities on their living pieces?

well March will be the 2nd of simpol open space cafes in London invited for 1 
hour around the Brazilian who’s worked longer to promote understanding of 
human rights of water than anyone I will ever meet. For example he helped 
encourage the Catholic Church to make 2004 Year of water and open spaces 
through its 7000 parishes so the people could discuss that. Or he knows of the 
100 projects including an educational curriculum one involving 80000 school 
children that the river basins of the world's largest dam at Foz are 
exploring; in fact he co-presented that at the Brazilian embassy in London 
when last we met. 

My living pieces question to you: is whom should we be inviting now to attend 
this one hour café. I have a few ideas such as those who are later that month 
inviting Al Gore over to speak and those who are connecting hundreds of 
nmilions of investment in photosynthesised energy, even celebrities like 
whomever represents Anita Rodicks views on www.troubledwater.org  – but please 
tell me at wcbn007 at easynet.co.uk if there’s anyone else you know who we should 
be inviting
