[FRIAM] driving or feeding emergence

[Phil Henshaw]

I think what's so hard to get a started with in this is that it's about
how things work that are out of control.   It's about what's feeding
things rather than what's driving them, for example.     
 
Because the beginning and ending of autonomous complex systems is
explosive, that recognizable pattern can be used as a key.

The eventful flow conversation in the NY Times about 'sustainability' is
clearly displayed in frequency of published items using that term from
1996 to 2006.  It's both a good object lesson on how to identify
emergent systems using growth curves, and a peek at where the
sustainable design movement is coming from and going to, see also
