Intro -- Table of contents -- Foreword -- Preface -- Tools for co-creation -- A hopeful story in times of crisis -- Networks as living tissue -- Return to Oikonomia -- Time for a new book -- Connecting the dots between established theories, as a bridge to co-creation -- This book is the result of interaction -- For my mother -- Chapter 1 -- A time for co-creation -- 'If there's energy in the network, anything is possible!' -- The theory of living networks as complementary to the market paradigm -- This book offers a philosophy surrounding some key concepts
A thrilling moment in time, but passiveness is not an option -- A hopeful story -- Chapter 2 -- Energy -- Networks as living tissue -- Energy is not just a metaphor -- Part of the larger ecosystem -- Energy flow management keeps systems alive -- Autopoiesis: self-perpetuating interaction patterns -- Networks as living organisms -- Nature as a source of inspiration -- 1 The principle of self-organisation -- Self-organisation occurs at all levels in nature -- Complexity increases with evolution -- Energy in human networks -- Consciousness as one of the mechanisms for coordination
Practical consequences of the first organising principle -- 2 The principle of identity -- All life forms have boundaries -- Existing in different networks with different identities simultaneously -- Different definitions of networks -- Warm networks -- Connection mechanisms -- To monitor security requires control -- Practical consequences of the second organising principle -- 3 The principle of competition -- Competition due to threat -- Competition in human networks -- Competition drives vitality only within safe parameters -- Monopolies and exclusion break down security
Competition does not always generate the best solutions -- Unleashed competition creates its own limits -- 4 The principle of complementarity -- The second part of the theory of evolution: endosymbiosis -- Balance between competition and complementarity -- Complementarity in networks -- Healthy networks become systems with emergent properties -- Complementary networks also create their own limits -- Coupling mechanisms, from broad to fine-tuned -- The 'invisible hand' in the market is only one half of the story -- Competitive systems and complementary systems alternate over time
Practical consequences of the fourth organising principle -- 5 The principle of pulsating growth -- Everything moves -- Decay is a part of the cycle of life -- The 'Energy Timeline Method' visualises the energy curve in a network -- Two routes as a follow-up to crisis: destruction or renewal -- Practical consequences of the fifth organising principle -- 6 The principle of abundance -- Generating surplus is a self-reinforcing process -- Abundance serves resilience, variation and creativity -- Abundance in networks offers space for creativity
A vital network has mechanisms for redistributing abundance
