Here are some of the questions and comments I took down from our process and read out to the large group on Monday (and a couple I didn’t read out):

There is a certain emergence that comes out of collaboration – bubbling up out of a common engagement with a common or related set of problems

Even when we thought we were not doing the task, we were not doing nothing.

What is the process of improvisation towards a question?

How much does this process depend on someone having a high level of expertise that they bring?

A reflection on love in Maturana’s sense not merely of persons but also of a topic or passion – amateur as a word that comes from the word for love

What are the emergent properties of what goes on in the system?

What are the rules of size and number and partition that allow emergent process to happen?

The surrealist process Exquisite Corpse was discussed (I do not fully understand this).

There is an importance to being honest with oneself – self-reflective self-honesty – which “gives you complexity for free in the simplest of systems”

What is the role of resonance and vibrations between people – entrainment to a rhythm or pulse? How do people entrain themselves and find resonance?

A collaboration is a dance. Maybe an Argentine tango (or as we discussed later, a Finnish tango, or lindy hop…)
