Pete So, here's my difficulty: you propose an alternative visual metaphor - instead of an vertical orientation (hierarchy without an explicit ordering principle) you propose a horizontal orientation (again, an ordering without an explicit ordering principle). What have we gained? You propose: "A heterarchical arrangement respects the uniqueness of the organizational pattern of each individual while simultaneously allowing hierarchically ordered leverage points to emerge in specific contexts within the experience of each individual where changing something at a higher node in the hierarchy could be described to have effected change in the lower level. In the heterarchical arrangement then, there would be in essence no controller for the system. The system would re-configure itself as is appropriate to the context" Obviously for this proposal to be something more than a suggestive metaphors onto which each of us may hallucinate our own particular internal maps, answers to a number of questions must be explicated: questions such as those that any wanna be NLP practitioner could generate, e.g. "..heterarchical arrangement respects the uniqueness of the organizational pattern of each individual while simultaneously allowing hierarchically ordered leverage points to emerge in specific contexts within the experience of each individual where changing something at a higher node in the hierarchy could be described to have effected change in the lower level, respects how specifically? the uniqueness of which organizational pattern, higher node... lower level, ordered how specifically.... Otherwise, your proposal is vacuous. Willing to specify what it is that you are suggesting? John |
