[p2p-research] About the concept of holoptism etc.

[Michel Bauwens]

Hi Juhana,

I found this old email to which I did not respond, sorry for that.

Are you aware of the seminar that Athina is organizing with me in Hull,
where your topic would be most appropriate? see
http://p2pfoundation.net/Virtual_Communication,_Collaboration_and_Conflict_Research_Group

your questions below are a little too complex for a short answer, but we can
always skype about it?

This text would be a must read on the topic, see
http://p2pfoundation.net/Towards_Collaborative_Community

and have you seen mark pesce's the tower and the cloud text?,
http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/mark-pesce-how-the-power-of-the-cloud-affects-the-cloud-of-power/2009/05/16

are you familiar with the integral AQAL framework, that I would use, if I
had time, to respond to your query in detail ... in short; there are 4
levels subjective, intersubjective (culture), objective (technology),
interobjective (systems), where this conflict plays out

are you familiar with bioteaming (ken thompson),
http://p2pfoundation.net/Bioteaming

mark elliot's stigmergic collaboration, http://p2pfoundation.net/Stigmergy

I think that Tom Rawlings and Bas Reus, are either interested, or working on
the topic.

all the people mentioned above are in cc,

Perhaps you could post this query at Ning, http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/,
or on the p2p research list, where we could start a dialogue on it?

I found the first reference to holoptism, in a report on collective
intelligence by jean-francois noubel, see http://p2pfoundation.net/Holoptism
