As knowledge cycles through theory-practice relation, and within those cycles ontology-epistemology and technology-techniques a beautiful thing happens called Life.

At the edges of these highly regulated and regular cycles, there are discontinuities, ruptures, imbalances, disorder… change there is constant.

There’s a disruption to the regular cycle…

Differences emerge between theory-practice, between ontology-epistemology, technology-technique.

Gregory Bateson is well known for saying “it’s the difference that makes a difference.

This the basis for mutual co-learning in all living organisms in relation with their ever-changing ecosystems.

Emergence of the new, the difference engages the en-cyclo-pedic process in motion–it finds feet.

There’s forward movement towards greater complexity, wholeness, aliveness.

And, the emergence presents a new challenge for a system to know, to learn itself–a new self.

Over successive revolutions and emergences, upgraded stories about the workings of the world in the universe-of-complexity take a fuller, more inclusive shape.

These increasingly dimensionalized, evolving stories (cosmology), become the new threads that warp and weave the fabric of the evolving universe-of-complexity, as we know it, as we co-create it.
