the serendipity already is. everywhere. the sync is what matters. can we listen for that.
The only wherewithal we might have to rely on is the quality of our feelings and thinking brought together through the habit of ‘practice and serendipity’ or
simply having a ‘prepared attentive mind’ since the need is to adapt moment to moment. Or simply stated, our contextual intelligence can come to our rescue to maintain balance.

Nemetics is a flexible thought model that allows us to synthesize mathematical thinking, subjective insights and feelings to re-design our lives for the better. The objective of the flexible thought model is to make sense of complex adaptive systems and to act upon them. It may be effectively applied to various fields like organizations, manufacturing systems, engineering, organizational sociology, economics, design, system design, system reliability and even to psychology and a host of others fields.

or to people. 7 billion+ of them.. no?
In short Nemetics can be best described as a study of origins of the various complex phenomena within which we exist. Or in other words it is the
ontological inquiry in general that seeks the transcendental truths operating behind everyday phenomenon.

perhaps we’re missing the dance.. because we keep looking elsewhere for the dance steps.. when they (the steps, the music, the rhythm, the sync-ability)
are already inside each one of us.
so perhaps.. serendipity is most about listening.
(ie: not even about creating the perfect spaces for serendipity to happen, unless we decide that simply entails – freeing all art-ists at the same time, in sync)
perhaps if we just focus on 2 things
(authenticity & attachment)
we’ll give serendipity
(peace, betterness, et al)
a chance. be\cause perhaps authenticity is the only way we hear the things we need to hear. and be\cause perhaps attachment is the only thing that keeps us safe/calm/home/quiet/free enough to keep on listening. (input matters if output matters ness)
Since the aim of Nemetics is to gain direct knowledge of the transcendental the
fundamental premise is praxis
for the simple reason that the theory of such complex emergence ... simply might not exist. It has to be worked out. The idea is to move from practice to theory and then to practice again. http://rgbwaves.com/2012/08/10/problems-landscapes-habits-leadership-in-the-21st-century/
When many oscillators couple together they form a general group pattern. Appearance of such a group pattern is what is known as ‘emergence’. Thus our task perhaps simplifies to understanding and interpreting such patterns exhibited by group behavior, which are simply known as emergence.

again.. serendipity et al not about the prep/design-of-a-space/structure/system as we generally view these things (ie: design classroom or office space or even city, et al). but about the bravery/freedom/openness/awakeness/aliven ess/trust to let it/us emerge. listen/emerge/listen. all one dance of improv. no prep. as prep.
which is great news we don’t have to have years of training or mounds of manuals/policy/bureaucracy or only let certain credentialed people be in charge of the day. we just have to free people. and trust that. let’s do that first. and just see. we’ve spent plenty of years doing it the other way around.
(the B/b way)
Hence faced with an issue on ‘interdependence’ we have two tasks ahead of us. First is to understand and interpret the group behavior and patterns that emerge. There are several ways of going about it. One of my favorite is to see the wave patterns generated. The idea is to identify the type of wave and the type of attractor that it might be associated with. http://rgbwaves.wordpress.com/2012/08/05/how-to-embrace-uncertainty-of-complex-systems-with-a-smile/
perhaps the interdependence/interconnectedness of humans relies more on trusting 100% of us. perhaps we haven’t yet seen the (serendipitous) dance because we haven’t yet trusted 100% of us. (www won’t work w/o the whole world. re\wire for ni.)

A faster transform means that less computer power is required to process a given amount of information—a boon to energy-conscious mobile multimedia devices such as smart phones. Or with the same amount of power, engineers can contemplate doing things that the computing demands of the original FFT made impractical. For example, Internet backbones and routers today can actually read or process only a tiny trickle of the river of bits they pass between them. The SFT could allow researchers to study the flow of this traffic in much greater detail as bits shoot by billions of times a second. http://www2.technologyreview.com/news/427676/a-faster-fourier-transform/

More-intelligent-species-on-Earth-thanHumans – crickets The wave based communication of Humans is
far more limited than crickets, seen in
places like dance clubs, prices in stock markets (less total stocks than neurons in a small number of crickets brains), body language, etc, but these wave based communications of Humans do not tend to spread to other Humans nearly as well as oscillating sounds spread in large groups of crickets. Humans
communicate mostly in words.
Crickets communicate mostly in waves. There are waves of words as ideas flow through society, which we call memes, but at the brainwave level we are still communicating between brain cells like crickets communicate with sound. http://spacecollective.org/BenRayfield/7821/More-intelligent-species-on-Earth-than-Humans
perhaps we go with way more/less words and just focus on listening-to/riding/feeling/grokking/whatevering the waves. still. quiet. enough.
Serendipity means a “fortunate happenstance” or “pleasant surprise”. It was coined by Horace Walpole in 1754. In a letter he wrote to a friend Walpole explained an unexpected discovery he had made by reference to a Persian fairy tale, The Three Princes of Serendip. The princes, he told his correspondent, were “always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of”.
The notion of serendipity is a common occurrence throughout the history of scientific innovation such as Alexander Fleming’s accidental discovery of penicillin in 1928 and the invention of the microwave oven by Percy Spencer in 1945.
Serendipity is not just a matter of a random event, nor can it be taken simply as a synonym for “a happy accident” (Ferguson, 1999; Khan, 1999), “finding
out things without being searching for them” (Austin,
2003), or “a pleasant surprise” (Tolson, 2004) .. difference between random and whimsy perhaps what makes the chaos a dance
The New Oxford Dictionary of English defines serendipity as the occurrence and development of events by chance in a satisfactory or beneficial way, understanding the chance as any event that takes place in the
absence of any obvious project
(randomly or accidentally), which is not relevant to any present need, or in which the cause is unknown.
no agenda ness
Innovations presented as examples of serendipity have an important characteristic: they were made by
individuals able to
“see bridges where others saw holes” and connect events creatively, based on the perception of a significant link.
i’m guessing we all have this ability. we just haven’t given most of us
(so any of us)
a chance.
The chance is an event, serendipity a capacity. The Nobel Prize laureate Paul Flory suggests that significant inventions are not mere accidents. [..] The serendipitous can play an important role in the search for truth, but because of traditional scientific behavior and scientific thinking based on
logic and predictability is often ignored in the scientific literature.
you can explode with abundant serendipitous encounters all you want if people aren’t awake/looking/listening makes not enough difference.
