==Material from Anthro-complexity page: transferred here by User:Snowded== ===Principles of Anthro-Complexity=== What we might be drawn towards outlining as core "principles" in Anthro-Complexity might say more about the context in which questions are being asked than about the realities being described, but Dave Snowden returns periodically to the idea in ways which may resonate for key audiences. Key messages can easily be framed in relation to specific topics, such as with Manege and Menage * We can create order, and to do so is valuable when the context is right * There are aspects of a complex system that can be known and managed * Understanding we’re in flux is key to managing and living with and through complexity Longer term, we may find ourselves on more secure terrain in saying what Anthro-complexity is NOT, but this list is from early 2021 gives a sense of some of Dave Snowden's priority messages: * Human complex systems are differentiated from others in nature by intelligence, identity shifting/merging and intentionality * We are capable of being ontologically aware, epistemologically responsive (sorry couldn’t resist that) * We can understand and manage constraints within the system and reinforce good patterns while disrupting bad ones * The principle of bounded applicability is key, different things can work in different situations * Complexity allows ontologically contradictory states to co-exist (this is very important I haven’t taken about it in this series but I am noting it for the moment) * There is nothing wrong with order, it has value if it is sustainable * We live in a state of flux and we evolved to handle that state, we don’t call this "naturalistic" for nothing
