So interesting. Love how School of Attention pull in all these different systems for parallels and inspiration. Anna Beth Lane talks with such electric enthusiasm about the balance between chaos and organisation, and how vital that interplay actually is. It makes me think about childhood 'vs' adulthood - two very different systems and styles of thinking and interacting with the world (which sadly modernity has made more different than they ought to be); left to its own devices childishness seems to me a great example of a system perfectly poised between chaos and organisation, one that naturally builds and adapts for its surroundings from the seeming erratic wildness of children's exploration and imaginations.
Loved this convo and sent Anna Beth Lane an email of interest in the Complexity Lab. I've been writing about unexpected possibilities, new beginnings (where does the new come from), and us becoming unpredictable -- out next Tuesday. The convo really resonated!

Such a great point! Play and imagination are certainly in a space between order and chaos.
Well that’s nice to hear from the actual School of Great Points. Spaces between order and chaos, all of life really I suppose!
