Spiral into a Regenerative Future by Bridging Science & AI (Ancestral Intelligence)
The session poses the question:
What if Nature has a seat at the table
whenever we strategise, plan, collaborate, create?
As North American Indian, Casey Camp-Horinek said at the 2024 Bioneers Conference, we ARE Nature! (and Paul Polman, ex CEO of Unilever agrees).
The Case Study is about a remote community we can all learn from. As Dr Héctor Rodriguez explains to Yoshimi and Jon, The more you go to marginalized areas or to marginalized experiences, the more knowledge and wisdom you will bring to your own project. Immerse a little bit in how that team or group or community is doing something similar to what you are doing, but with no budget, no technology and learn from them.
The Case Study is a metaphor, a reflection of what's happening at many of our Boardroom tables in the context of our radically changing and uncertain times. The study introduces Emérgéntly, a framework that challenges us to reset mindsets around our connection with Nature. The session captures the essence of Emérgéntly and how it bridges the wisdom of science and AI (Ancestral Intelligence).
AI is a valuable resource, with Nature herself being the most ancient Ancestral Intelligence. The case study illustrates how Emérgéntly spirals through the Elements: Fire energises, Earth solidifies, Water unifies, Air transforms. Nature guides us through a regenerative process that helps us clarify what to do. Ancestral Intelligence reminds us: When we heal Nature, we heal ourselves. When we heal ourselves, we heal Nature.
To set context for what Nature has to say to us, listen to her - be reminded - and do something to heal her and ourselves: https://thefountain.earth/
Given that each of us is only briefly visiting this planet, what does it mean to be a good visitor?
We can learn so much from the science of Nature. As Dr. Suzanne Simard discovered: [trees] weren't in a massive fierce competition like the corporate model said. No, they actually help each other. They're a community, they're social!
Emérgéntly uses Nature as a metaphor that helps us make sense of science and the wisdom of Ancestral Intelligence.
Just as it is important to become "street-wise" in our car infested cities, we must also become "info-wise" in our mis-information infested social media.

This is a song Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan grew up with.
It’s the last song that my paternal grandmother sang to me. I’m sharing it with you as a reminder. A reminder of the relationship we have with each other and the relationship we have with our environment. A reminder to every single person, that you are the protagonist, the hero of your own epic story, and you’re never alone. And a reminder of our thriving Green grassroots movement, and that we will forever and always be committed to our people and planet.

| What a great example of AI (Ancestral Intelligence) that applies no matter where you live. |

This describes how some words have a specific meaning in the Emérgéntly context.
Metaphor: a loose representation of something e.g. the city is a jungle. Emérgéntly commonly uses four different metaphors to describe a system, e.g. systems energise, solidify, unify and transform and typically, some of the words are obvious metaphors, but one or two may not be. A metaphor is never wrong, just more or less useful. Metaphor distracts the brain from black and white linear thinking.
Functions: what functions (or roles) the system (or group of people) as a whole fulfills. For example, the function of a clock is to tell the time, and what does being able to tell the time enable us to DO?. What does the system as a whole DO (energise, solidify, unify and transform) in the big picture? Emérgéntly functions are interdependent, and therefore can be difficult to distinguish from each other. But that is the point—it makes you think more deeply. Despite the brain preferring black and white independencies, focusing on interdependencies is vital for understanding systems.
Interdependence: not my success is your success, but my success DEPENDS on your success. If you are not successful, neither am I. My success depends on Nature’s success.
Tetrahedron: a pyramid with a triangular base, unlike the Egyptian Pyramid which has a square base. Emérgéntly uses the tetrahedron as a metaphor for interdependence—where you can change one side and all sides change. It also represents the minimum structural system with a physical inside and outside and a total of only 4 sides. A structural triangle is actually a very flat prism with three sides plus a top and a bottom, 5 sides in all. The tetrahedron is therefore also a metaphor for the simplest possible system.
Spiral: a metaphor for constant change which cycles through a predictable sequence, like the weather constantly changes, but cycles through the four seasons. Emérgéntly unfolds the tetrahedron into four interdependent triangles and illustrates a specific sequence by arranging the triangles in a spiral starting in the middle, and spiralling out in an anticlockwise direction. The same sequence of triangles can be illustrated by rotating the tetrahedron in a specific way.
Systems: according to Wikipedia, A system is a group of interacting or interrelated elements that act according to a set of rules to form a unified whole. Emérgéntly assumes the elements are not just interrelated, but also interdependent. The tetrahedron is the simplest possible structural system and has four interrelated elements (four sides, four vertices), so we assume any system can be described in terms of no fewer than four elements or parts, or functions or roles. It is also important that most systems are nested within other systems. For example, your digestive system is one organ system that is nested within your body. Your body is a system that is nested within your family, which is nested within your community...
Elements: a system is a group of interrelated elements (or parts or functions or roles). Emérgéntly labels the four parts of a minimum system after the elements of Nature, Fire, Earth, Water, Air.
Eco-logical: systems thinking. Just as economy is the monetary numbers in a specific place. Emérgéntly hyphenates eco-logic to mean the logic of the place or system.
Ego: the part of a person's mind that balances unconscious desires with the demands of the real world. We all have unconscious desires, but we can all develop a more eco ego by paying more attention to the eco-logic of the real world.
Regenerative: improving a place or a system so that it generates more energy than it needs. It is no longer enough to be self-sufficient and sustainable, we must aim to be shared-sufficient and regenerative.
