Replying to LO11124 --

At mentions "emergent learning" as the key to mutuality and symbiosis on
something like this list.

At, in my thinking about learning, there is little (nothing?) that isn't
emergent in some sense if there is learning occurring. What I think you
are pointing at is that "emergent learning" writ large is required for the
kind of generative possibility that this series of post is aimed at.

That is, unless there is something generated that did not exist before -
in the thinking of ANY single participant on the list, the emergent
learning of mutuality is not present.

This is a central problem of transforming working with individuals towards
a learning organisation to having organisational learning occur at the
level of organisation.

The particular focus that I was aimed at in my earlier posts was the
situation where there is some single person who is leading the thinking in
an area and wants to share it with decent economics or mutuality. This
mutuality might be a combination of economics and contribution to new
understanding, enriching the original expression, etc of the originator
and value for those who are paying.
