Hi Carl,
Thanks for the article.
BTW, what do you think of Wolfram's book?
I bought it a month or so ago but I am not yet convinved of the "new science" the
Steven Wolfram advocates. I have to say though that I have not yet delved deeply into
the book - it's a massive opus you know - it's definitely a good starting basis for the
Organis project. It explores issues of control and organisation with respect to structural
patterns of analysis, therefore I am quite optimistic that once I have finished the book,
good ideas will emerge, especially in terms of corporate governanve parallelisms and
business ecosystem analogies. Is there anything in the book that striked you as relevant?
I will get back to you once I 've read Gelernter's piece - hope you're well
George
