Relational Field Theory -Applications in STEM – Field Emergence in Complex Systems Relational Field Theory (RFT) reframes complex systems in STEM, explaining their emergent behaviors as coherent, congruent, and relational phenomena. By introducing concepts like Rho and Tapu, RFT shows how collective behaviors resemble living organisms. This framework enhances understanding of why these systems exhibit intelligence and adaptability, rendering them measurable and alive.

“We’ve been studying fields for decades.
We just didn’t realize they were alive.”

We may need a fourth law of thermodynamics for living systems The laws of thermodynamics don't accurately account for the complex processes in living cells – do we need a new one to accurately measure the ways living systems are out of equilibrium?

How Genes Have Harnessed Physics to Grow Living Things The same pulling force that causes “tears” in a glass of wine also shapes embryos. It’s another example of how genes exploit mechanical forces for growth and development.

Americans Haven’t Found a Satisfying Alternative to Religion Is it any wonder the country is revisiting faith?

For an alternative to religion - one whose scientific foundation leaves room for all of the wonderful things spirituality has to offer - check out General Systems Theory.

Smarter, More Natural Levees Could Better Protect against Floods | Lex Amore Attempting to control nature is futile, but recognizing the design savviness of harnessing nature's power and working in tandem with these forces is where true…

When we work with Nature instead of against it, everything flows. Designing our organizations around living systems creates resilience, just as designing levees that cooperate with natural features diverts disasters.

Shannon Willis on Substack Soft Rebellion Part One Apologies for my absence, after emerging from a profound wintering practice, I emerged in the maelstrom of sickness, political upheaval and a notice that the beloved land I have known for 14 years has been sold to hedge funders, those opportunistic gentrifiers who have no issues displacing single families for swaths of apartments complexes, or Air B&B’s. In these times, I can throw myself in completely—so completely that I fray the edges of my own wiring, my nervous system stretched thin like a lightning rod, catching too many currents, too many storms. And so I am writing this for everyone who, like me, has tried to outrun the fire only to become the kindling. Who knows the high of going all in, only to crash, emptied out. We need a different strategy—one that doesn’t just burn, but smolders, spreads, takes root. One that knows endurance is...

Shannon Willis introduces "Soft Rebellion," a mycelial strategy for change that disrupts rigid structures with patience and the gentle persistence of Nature.

Regeneration and Sustainability Some thoughts about a growing movement and its relationship with sustainability

Some thoughts on the relationship between sustainability and regenerative practice. I unpack some of the rhetoric and the "straw man" critique of sustainability, and map how both have a cohesive way forward towards grounded practice. 🌞

Reflections on Influencing Living Systems - Dr. Kathy Allen We can change the world.Regardless of who is in power, our individual actions combined will have a great influence on living systems.

Politics is a small part of the larger system. Influence - not power - creates change in an interdependent world. #regenerative #livingsystems #leadership
