As I remember (vaguely) Gene Marshall did a lot of the work on the imbalances. Someone might want to get in touch with him.
All this talk of Summer '71 reminds me of a lot of my tears. At the beginning of that summer, our dear mentor, JWM, assigned me (only me) as the print shop. I recall S'71 as the summer I grew up. I did learn to run three Gestetner machines at once. LeRoy Philbrook saved all of us by getting the show room floor of Addressograph Multigraph several nights for all night printing. We would never have made it to the final plenary without that.
Anyone remember the "around the room" march to collate for that final plenary?
I know this isn't about the triangles content...but just a reminder that much blood, sweat and tears were in their creation. And yes, Jenkins book is worth having.

Many years later...Joel and I worked with our clients to make some of the terms more understandable, but not change their dynamic meaning. We have those printed in The Facilitative Way.
The Social Process and the Other World were our greatest contributions to life in my mind.

I’ve never quite been able to get past the content on that question to see the structure of the thinking. I helps me make sense of the social processes in a new way.
