==== ‘Whole’ Programming ====

Nobody wants to be programmed. That is, no one wants to lose agency, to be changed against their will. On the other hand if we can gain knowledge that makes our life better, we like that.  Workshops, degrees, physical and spiritual disciplines are often turned into programs for transferring knowledge from one to many.

As soon as we begin to discuss the design of collective programs there are territory battles about what is good, who knows how to create it and its impact on the broader environment. Here I would like to reimagine this process, taking leadership from a game of authority and winner-take-all to one of collective investigation and iterative discovery.

Collectives gather, map their perceptions, intentions, and actions, and share the processes that generate insight. Imagine this like the spec of dust dropped into super-cooled water that produces a chain reaction of crystallization. Not via economic or peer pressure but because like all good technology it answers a question or solves a problem that was seeking completion.
