Welcome

Hello.

Welcome to Flowing Mu. Thanks for visiting.

The information below will help you navigate this blog, and serve as an introduction to some frameworks and concepts that I GUARANTEE you will hear more about in coming years.

You can find the posts in each category using the links in the side-bar --> (Thanks to Rhys Stacker and this guy). Below are the codes that you can use to navigate the entries on my blog.

The first are based on Integral Theory. So,
* If you want to read about (external, individual) behaviour, actions, bodies, physical, sensual reality check out those labelled 'UR' - upper right.
* If you want to read about (internal, individual) values, ethics, reflections, ideas and internal mental and emotional reality, check out those labelled 'UL' - upper left.
* If you want to read about (internal, collective) culture, values, norms, societal and community internal reality, check out 'LL' - lower left.
* And for (external, collective) systems, insutitions, organisations, external and collective physical reality check out 'LR' - lower right.

And, relating to Sustainability I have also started to label things based on the five level framework used in my Master's course:
* SYS = understanding the system. Setting boundaries, working out waht is going on, dealing with the complex, intertwined reality...before you decide how (and even whether to) intervene.
* SUCC = success. The vision, the goal, the end-point the desired future. Articulating where we want to get to and how we want to be when we get there.
* STRAT = strategy. The general approach, nifty ways of combining tactics and actions to achieve success.
* ACT = actions. Things you actually do, or other people do to create (or block the creation of) a better world.
* TOOL = tools. Frameworks, metrics, methods...that help you do things, and know that are the right things, or are having the intended effect.

Also, some other Topics I am particualry interested in deserve special attention:
* C&M = coastal and marine ecosystems
* WATER = freshwater, drinkable water, the global cycle of H2O
* FOOD = local, organic, commercial, industrial, agricultural, blah blah you are what you eat...
* PROC = processes: decision-making, engagement, refelction...creative, visionary ways of doing things, rather than the things or ideas themselves.
No climate change, that is so lats season, so already-happening, so passe... : ) No, seriously, info on this will probably be under one of the sustainability headings....

Finally, the other things.
Are these the things that really matter? If I have not labelled them, it is really a reflection on my fuzzy thinking that means I don't know what category to put them in. Or maybe they are just fun...and labelling them makes them to academic. If that sounds nice, check out BOX...of stuff in the back room that you constantly re-organise, but really never sort out. And FUN
