[Oe List ...] archives

[Jack Gilles]

Herman,

I have done some work on this question.  I said to myself that the  
'foundational process' is what I called The Natural Process but I  
think Earth Process would work as well.      On the right side I had  
the Social Process, the 'organizing process' and at the top I had the  
Human Process, the 'meaning process'.  I call the whole new triangle  
the Creative Process, but there might be another name that would be  
better.  I have worked through a couple of levels of the the two new  
triangles but am not ready to share just yet.  A good "research  
project" for the Diaspora!
