Evolutionary Process DynamicsI believe that fractals respond to a profound uneasiness in man -Benoit Mandelbrot

Evolution tends to be a trauma induced process

Fractal system model - operates at all scales, from the individual, to the collective,

entire systems

Provided the periodicity and amplitude of trauma cycles do not exceed the system

capacity to respond,the system tends to evolve to a more robust form

"We never stop investigating.We are never satisfied that weknow enough to get by. Every

question we answer leads onto another question. This hasbecome the greatest survival

trick of our species."

--Desmond Morris

The Holographic Perspective Focused intentionality as a mechanism of influence

All living things are systematically interconnected

Definition of living things extends to systems, processes, entities

which behave biologically

And the day came whenthe risk it took to remaintight in the bud was more

painful than the risk it tookto blossom. ~Anais Nin~

Cultural Imperatives of the

Evolutionary Eventstream - Emergent Knowledge complexity, scale, and velocity is exceeding human

capacity for mission critical decision rendering compressed into ever

shortening time scales.

Evolution of complex metasystems of artificial entities, synthetic

lifeforms, and emergent intelligences becomes the acceptable culture

norm of the near future.

Perceived boundaries of the synthetic and organic, the virtual and

the real, become enmeshed into an existence continuum.

Global Consciousness Project

http://noosphere.princeton.edu

The Global Consciousness ProjectWe We do not feel that our mindsare isolated within our bodies. In truth, we experience the world with

beautiful immediacy, we know our loved ones from afar, and we leap inthought to the stars. Research on anomalies of consciousness showsthat we may have direct communication links with each other, and thatintentions can have effects in the world despite physical barriers and

separations. Evidence compels us to consider that consciousness mayoperate as a nonlocal field. The Global Consciousness Project (GCP)takes this possibility a step further, proposing that the fields generated byindividual consciousness would interact and combine, and ultimatelyhave global dimensions
