Useful Presuppositions
To accelerate engagement and synergies of ideas, mindsets open to eco over ego approaches give hope for a brighter, just future. Celebrate what presuppositions resonate with you ... dare to be naive about what doesn't, and commit to explore how presuppositions can make 'the world work for 100% of humanity and the planet.'
- Nature is all of life: human and non-human.
- The metaphor of Nature has four Elements: Water - Fire - Earth - Air.
- The tetrahedron is four-sided and the simplest three dimension system possible.
- Four triangles folding into a tetrahedron is a metaphor for viewing your project in 4 parts (triangles) of a whole system (tetrahedron).
- A whole system is greater than the sum of its parts.
- The nature (essence, spirit or unique pattern) of a project is defined by the relationships between its parts and to its context.
- We must shift from ego-centric to eco-centric, regenerative strategies for the sustainability of humanity and the planet.
- Whatever we do must serve Nature.
