Systems Within Systems
“Indeed, an outstanding property of all life is the tendency to form multileveled structures of systems within systems. Each of these forms a whole with respect to its parts while at the same time being a part of a larger whole.”
–Fritjof Capra (Austrian-born American Physicist, Futurist and Writer, 1939-)

Organic Organization
“Organisms shape themselves in response to their neighbors and their environments. All respond to one another, co-evolving and co-creating the complex systems of organization that we see in nature. Life is systems-seeking. It seeks organization. Organization is a naturally occurring phenomenon. Self-organization is the powerful force by which Gaia created herself through relationships, creating all the living systems we see. She knows how to organize from the inside out, from partnering with neighbors rather than from imposition and control.”
–Margaret J. Wheatley (American Writer and Expert in Organization Behavior and Systems Thinking, 1944-)
