Many of the "rules" in classical music composition came after the music
was composed. The best composers have always been making up the rules
as they went along. In many ways, the rules of music composition are
more descriptive than prescriptive.<br>

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Traditional
classical music is composed
using “rules” that relate to the harmonic properties of musical
sound. After the early 20th century, when 12-tone composition was seen
to be moving
beyond the traditional constraints imposed by those harmonic
properties,
composers had to make up their own rules. Igor Stravinsky (who composed
during
an era when the “old rules” had been largely discredited)
apparently once said that he had to invent his own rules (or set his
own
boundaries, if you will) in order to compose. The boundaries might
change with
every new composition, but without boundaries he could not find
creativity. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

more sense in the “Principles and Law” than non-sense.
Stewart Kauffman explores the importance of some form of
“boundaries” or “container” for self-organization,
particularly that of cells. He believes (with strong scientific
evidence)
that real physical work only gets done within some “boundaries” or
it dissipates. Cells, he asserts, co-create their
“boundaries” with their environment through self-organizing
relationships in every moment. The boundaries are permeable,
constructs,
open to interchange with their environment. (No such thing as a closed
system!)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

lang="EN-CA">, I believe you have articulated a set of socially
constructed
permeable “boundaries” for enhancing human self-organization
– including the focus/theme, principles and law. These set a
temporary set of “boundaries” or a “container” both
focused and open that change the perceived conditions for
self-organization at
an event or meeting. Self-organization is happening all the time, in
every moment. Our mental maps (in practice) and feelings shape what we
do
as we self-organize – what topics we propose and who we connect to.
Are they necessary for self-organization (Open Space) – no, it is
happening all the time as order emerges. Do they (or other similar
statements about the social framework for our self-organizing) help
people to
self-organize in exciting and creative ways? I think so.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

render the whole thing
non-sensical, the 4 principles and one law are neither laws nor
principles
actually. To be honest they are just my (and others’) observations of
what seemed to be happening in any case. In a word they are descriptive
as
opposed to descriptive – You could say it is all a joke. Rather like
“technology” in the phrase Open Space Technology. The joke, however
turned out to be outrageously funny – because somehow or another truth
broke through. We are in serious trouble! Everybody knows that what
happens in
Open Space simply can’t happen. Unfortunately it does – and that
makes a joke out of a whole mess of other stuff – like most of what we
think we know about meetings, the management of meetings, and
management
itself. Double trouble!!</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
