Chris - interesting question, and one that presents a peculiar difficulty.
The problem, at least my problem, is that I can't think of any pattern
found in nature that is NOT equally found in an Open Space. As near as I can
figure out, Open Space works because self-organization works - and self
organization, by whatever name, seems to be a, and probably the, fundamental
phenomenon in the ongoing process of nature. Putting it very simply and
shortly, Open Space is life. Have I missed something?

Subject: [OSList] patterns in nature and open space
Hi OSList,
I am interested in ways that OST and other methodologies flow according to
patterns that are present in living systems in nature (Some would use the
term biomimicry).
Do any of you have some specific examples from biology, ecology, and the
like of natural patterns and systems that are in some way similar to OST?
Thanks!
Chris
