Blockchain Decentralization and the Emergent Paradigm of Self-Organization
I think the emergence of blockchain technology will be the final puzzle piece in a meta-paradigm shift thats been brewing since the early 70's - that directly connects complex evolutionary dynamics into monetary systems - through decentralized networks that self-organize - connecting creative, open, emergent evolutionary dynamics into society, culture, and economy ..
Below is a presentation by Matan Field, talking about how blockchain decentralized networks are a revolution in global organization, and how they act like a evolving living self-organizing systems that can be found in life and nature. And also a link to Erich Jantsch's paradigm changing book - The Self-Organizing Universe.
"The Blockchain Revolution and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations as a New Form of Life!
Matan Field is a blockchain researcher and entrepreneur. While researching String Theories in the academy, he has discovered the blockchain at the end of 2013 and founded LaZooz, a decentralized ride-sharing network. Later Matan has founded Backfeed to develop the protocol basis for decentralized autonomous organisations (DAO), a work in progress at the forefront of the blockchain revolution. His talk will cover the blockchain revolution and Decentralized Autonomous Organisations as a new form of life!
The Self-Organizing Universe
"The evolution of the universe - ranging from cosmic and biological to sociocultural evolution - is viewed in terms of the unifying paradigm of self-organization. The contours of this paradigm emerge from the synthesis of a number of important, recently developed concepts, and provide a scientific foundation to a new world-view which emphasizes process over structure, nonequilibrium over equilibrium, evolution over permanency, and individual creativity over collective stabilization. The book, with its emphasis on the interaction of microstructures with the entire biosphere, ecosystems etc., and on how micro- and macrocosmos mutually create the conditions for their further evolution, provides a comprehensive framework for a deeper understanding of human creativity in a time of transition." - Eric Jantsch

Right on.. Looking forward to sharing more on these topics with you and the community. Very exciting times. For me (us in our project) the blockchain definitely gives a glimpse into things even more powerful than cryptocurrencies.. the ability to co-create and self organize as a planet, a whole living system.
I'd like to share a couple of posts with you that I've recently shared.

.. and my all time favorite word comes from Jantsch origins and it's part of the 7 Esses of Co-creation which are the OS for our Self Organizing Project.
Syntony:
This term, coined by Eric Jantsch in his book Design for Evolution, described one of the ways of accessing conscious evolution, as mentioned earlier. The relationship between the cosmic design and the individual intensifies through some form of syntony or resonance. Syntony feels like guidance, intuition, or direct knowing. We do not have to figure out what to do. We know. We perform with spontaneous right action. The inner world of subjective experience and the outer world of objective reality blend and become one. We and the world "outside us" are interconnected in one larger field of intelligence. The great flashes of awareness that mystics have experienced throughout history are reinforced and normalized. Each of us becomes more attuned to the deeper patterns; intuition and intellect blend. The mystical state becomes grounded and manifested in spirit-motivated social action.

Brilliant!!! Syntony! Thanks so much for sharing this! I actually bought Jantsch's book Design for Evolution recently, because it's the only one I haven't really looked at, but that really is a great word! Jantsch is my favorite writer on self-organization, he always brought a certain appropriate excitement, clarity, and vision :-)
Thinking about it the phrase "nondual syntony" comes to mind. Exciting times brother! Best to you~
lol.. great pic!
Ah I have not yet heard of Jantsch. I will check this out.
