RE: Challenges to systems thinking

[Miller Charles L SSSD <MillerCL@SUPSHIP.NAVY.MIL>]

  My theory is that nature has not shared it's aim with us.  We need an
operational definition of, "Nature".  If we selected a representative from
Nature, would that be natural or human?
  Nature is not a system because Nature has no aim.  Humans named it,
"Nature."  Who can tell me the aim of nature?  Apparent aims are supposed.
Humans can develop and share aims.

  "Let's move out of the box," is a humans way of approaching and/or
handling communication.
  
  The Den is a system if we agree on an aim first.  
  The activity of focusing on developing an aim starts the need to establish
some kind of pecking order.  Pecking order allows for power play.
  
  Thinking out of our box in some cased is giving into trusting and
relinquishing power.  
  My last sentence is too far out of the box for those in power.  
  Hence we develop theories on why we need to maintain power, then those in
power lobby to prove us right.  We gain status by being right.
  
  Too far out of the box boundary established by those in power and we
become outcasts.
    
  Theory:  If we all had one operational definition of, "Survival," as used
in "The Survival of all in the human race".  We would have the beginning of
a world system.  Each word in the statement would have to have an
operational definition for most humans (Are most humans in positions of
power?  Some humans are in the positions of power.  Are those in power, in
need of operational definitions?  Of What value are operational to those in
power?).
  Those in power want to purchase that which is working well in order to
leverage for more power.

  What is the operational definition of, "Power"?

  We have made such baby steps because Ego's get in the way.

  We relate out of fear of being alone, yet we act to compete so we are
alone.  

  System's thinking, using Profound Knowledge, needs to start with theories
an operational definitions.  Those most Senior in Power need to think our of
their current box.  The theory is developed,  Operational Definitions are
Agreed upon and Aim(s) is/are agreed upon.  Systems are identified.  All
while using Profound Knowledge.

  Who of the Most Senior, in Saudi Arabia or Egypt are embracing the use of
Profound Knowledge?  What value is it to them?  Who in England, Australia or
The United States of America is embracing the use of Profound Knowledge? 

  What is our operational definition of, "Survival?"
  Is our operational definition in agreement with the rest of the World's?

  What to do?
  The many people whom I respect, turn to prayer and the basics of setting
the example.  
  Plan or Do or Study or Act, based upon a agreed upon, operationally
defined theory, using Profound Knowledge.
