[OSList] OST - Open Systems Thinking

Our virtue seems to lie in letting whatever flows into our world of open
human consciousness that constantly welcomes new ways of life beyond
existing boundaries.

The fact that OS has been used by architecture and landscape communities is
wonderful, for we can tell a simple fact that nothing there invites any new
options into the space.

I use OS for aesthetically better socioecology of our world on where I
stand.

It seems that another full name of our OST might be something to enjoy
about.
Last but not the least, I am not a system that can be defined and
incapsulated: rather, a spirit trying to represent the whole ;-))

> Looking deeper into the website, Artur, it is not at all clear who these
people with OST (Open Systems Thinking) are. What they have at one point in
their documents, however, is an article by Emery about Open Systems
Thinking with reference that it is OST. I find this odd because Emery, also
a highly regarded thought leader in organizational development, is well
aware of OST as Open Space Technology.

books including Open Space Technology are copyrighted (also a legal
designation). And despite the copyrighting, it is not worth defending as
OST is out there sufficiently in the world as Open Space Technology already.

rather than the shortened form 'Open Space' is that there is even more
confusion about 'Open Space' as applied to this meeting method since Open
Space as a term was used long before OST came along...especially in
architecture and landscape architecture. I think that the more we all are
careful about mentioning 'Open Space Technology', the more that there is a
common recognition of a fabulous meeting facilitation method.

> Never heard of them. Thank God I never patented or trademarked OST.  Just
imagine all the trouble I would be in defending the indefensible - or
something. Much more fun just to give it all away. And you certainly meet
incredibly interesting people J
