Here is a concept map for the journal article by Malloy, Bostic St. Clair and Grinder entitled "Steps to an Ecology of Emergence."


STI Depth meta-map

I can't believe a month has gone by since my last post. The last month I have spent time on work, holidays, 2 illnesses (minor) and now finally have something to show for my work. Getting my head back into emergence, my topic for depth paper, has been interesting. The more you know, the more you know that you don't know. I have ordered quite a few books from the library, but with holiday library hours, they still haven't arrived. I have read several journal articles:


Corning, P. (2002). The re-emergence of "emergence": A venerable concept in search of a theory. Complexity, 7(6): 18-30.


Malloy, T.E., Bostic St. Sclair, C., & Grinder, J. (2004). Steps to an ecology of emergence. Cybernetics and Human Knowing. vol. II no.3


Capra, F., Flatau, M. Emergence and design in human organizations: creative tension "at the edge of chaos." Manuscript submitted for publication.


and reviewed my reading notes. Below is my meta-map:
