    Do I want to keep model.report? Yes, very much. I don’t have time to read most of the posts, but I do scan them and once in a while follow a trail set down. Curation of content by knowledgeable people is intensely valuable. In whatever form model.report survives, I would like to support it.

        Wonderful. Thanks, Cynthia. As you illustrate, there are many dimensions by which we might examine / understand the types of organization / structuration that we encounter / foster.

          Well, I must say this whole discussion is absolutely splendid and precisely what model.report is for :-)

            I am eager to add more frameworks/models to this list. I have long had in mind a book or web site that could help to educate people about the abundance of these models and the many and useful connections among them. I don’t know when I’ll get to it, because I have far more ideas for projects than time for projects! But if anyone knows of any frameworks that model the intermingling of organization (complication) and self-organization (complexity) that I haven’t listed, please let me know. To be in the list, models must cross the boundary, and not model for example only complexity. These all fit the criteria (not sure about Tarot but maybe - need to read about it).
