    Emergence | Metamorphosis

    In a living universe, as the internet extends into the physical world, with blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT) a new organic global neural system is emerging - with it comes the third industrial revolution.

  • Transformative Communities: An Architecture for Evolutionary Change

    TransComs brings together the full range of talent, theory, and systems required to influence policy and help global communities make a value-enhancing transition from the industrial age to the information age. Our consulting is informed through a holistic evolutionary perspective.

    We are dedicated to developing the value and transformative potential of open source peer-to-peer technology, innovation, and culture for business, policymakers, NGOs, and the broader public.

    TransComs has the central objective of becoming a platform for discussion of key issues and concerns that affect open transformation. We are a cross-disciplinary resource for new strategies and policies around the emergence of the distributed ledger, smart contracts, and the collaborative commons.

    Technology has an ever-increasing impact on business, society, and culture. We recognize the need for comprehensive frameworks that include all aspects of the development process from agile technology; systems and complexity theories; critical learning pedagogy; spiral dynamics integral; new economies; and other relevant methods.

    Our goal is to help enable systems that will allow humanity to more intelligently manage the earth's resources and social needs. This is a time of great potential, the most transformative time in history. The old systems are breaking down, the new ones are being inspired and invented.

    Mission

  • Science, Philosophy, Spirituality - Aligned

    Evolution is not linear, it is governed by many multi-dimensional forces from the interaction of complex systems, fractal, and other geometries. Metamorphosis is an astonishing process. We all as youth learned a bit about the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly. The truly amazing part of this process, however, is in the scientific detail of how it actually happens in nature.

    After a period of ravenous consumption, a caterpillar finds an appropriate perch and forms a chrysalis. The end result, we know, is a butterfly, but the truly astonishing thing is that there is no structural similarity at all between a caterpillar and a butterfly.

    Imaginal cells

    The caterpillar's new cells are called 'imaginal cells.' They resonate at a different frequency. They are so totally different from the caterpillar cells that the immune system thinks they are enemies.

    Then at some point, the entire long string of imaginal cells suddenly realizes all together that it is Something Different from the caterpillar. Something Totally New! ....and in that realization is the transition into butterfly!

    The Imaginal cells form clusters and clumps, begin resonating at the same frequency and passing information back and forth until they hit a tipping point. They begin acting not as discrete individual cells but as a multi-cell organism – and a butterfly is born.

    Mission

In a living universe as the internet extends into the physical world, a new organic neural system is emerging.

"During the mechanical ages we had extended our bodies in space. Today, after more than a century of electric technology, we have extended our central nervous system itself in a global embrace, abolishing both space and time as far as our planet is concerned. Rapidly, we approach the final phase of the extensions of man - the technological simulation of consciousness, when the creative process will be collectively and corporately extended to the whole of human society, much as we have already extended our senses and our nerves by the various media."
— Marshall McLuhan
