Systems Thinking & Cultural Evolution¶
Primes about second-order systemic views: systems thinking and leverage points, autopoiesis and metasystem transitions, reflexivity and second-order cybernetics, cultural diffusion and culture lag, dialectics and teleology, synchronic vs diachronic analysis, inertia and deep time, sociotechnical systems, user-centered design.
22 primes in this family — primes that sit near one another in abstraction space (k-means over structural-signature embeddings). Each is shown with its structural–framed character and how distinctive (sparsely-neighbored) it is.
