[OSList] Papers and writing about opening space

Sat Jul 7 08:08:58 PDT 2018

Hi Karl - would you say more about your questions? What are the initial
directions of your inquiry around a "conceptual basis" of opening holding
and closing space?

And what do you mean by "self structuring of open space"?

And can you say a bit more about "pattern recognition as people participate
in open space"

I wrote a PhD on open space using some unusual methodologies including
Organic Inquiry (feminist heuristic phenomenology) and Indigenous Science.

I've also been involved in some of the conversations about researching Open
Space over the years.
