Contexting Intelligences|Tags: 12 intelligences, A-B-C, Almere Principles, anthropic, Brian Eddy, Clare Graves, don beck, elisabet sahtouris, integral city intelligences, living systems, Map 1, Map 2, Map 3, Map 4, Map 5, Master Code, Practise, Principles, process, structures|2 Comments

Let's recap core blogs that explore the Principles that could guide a Planet of Integral Cities. Recently we explored the evolutionary context of the life-giving Principles of Anthro-Bio-Cosmo emergence (thanks to Integral Geographer Dr. Brian Eddy). In a much earlier blog we introduced the Principles of Living Systems (developed by Evolutionary Biologist Dr. Elisabet Sahtouris) Then we [...]

Anthropic Principles for a Planet of Cities can be derived from an examination of the levels of complexity. Spiral Dynamics Emergent Spiral These are nicely captured in the levels and colours of Spiral Dynamics integral. On reviewing this framing of Principles (which I first articulated in 2004) its seems that they address the [...]
