[Oe List ...] archives

[Herman Greene]

That's a good statement and worth archiving!

Occasionally I muse on how to place the social process into the Earth
process. I haven't had a brilliant idea about this yet. One approach is to
have an Earth process set of triangles (like the carbon cycle, the
hydrological cycle, etc.) parallel to the social process. Another approach
is to have the Earth process in the middle triangle of the social process
triangles. Another is to redo the social process triangles to include
interactions with nature. 

I haven't really done much except muse about this. (One approach I saw that
I question is to apply the social process to nature--it's not entirely
unfruitful but it seems like an artificial imposition on the natural
processes rather than beginning with the natural process itself.)

I wonder if anyone else has thought about this.

I'm having fun trying to figure out my plan for the archives.  I just
found this note in Joe's handwriting.
"1.  The social process is a complex dynamic that involves the
inter-relation of the Economic processes (which maintain basic
existence); the Political processes (which provides social existence);
and the Cultural processes (which enables rational or intentional
existence.  Because the social process is dynamical in nature, none of
these separate processes exists in itself.  Each is dependent on the
others.  Society is relationships, when one part is malfunctioning or
tyranizing over the others society as a whole is ill.
2."  There was no 2.

So where should I file this? in B401 Joe's papers, or G1904 the Social
Process category which I just added to the list as I have gone over
material about researching the social process triangles.
