Re: Systems Intelligence & Deming Druid Metaphor

["james hills" <jhills@sunflower.com>]

We all like to think we have some sort of "system."  We like to think we are
not doing things willy-nilly.  The word "system," therefore, seems to have a
protective veneer around it that keeps many of us from getting to the
fundamentals of qualities management.  A system is but an artifact of the
mind.  An abstraction of experience--not experience itself.  Deming
represents a view (ontology) of experience fundamentally different from the
mainstream.  From this view evolves a system.  First we must understand his
ontology;  then we can talk system.
