Greetings:We have plenty to say about Bucky's teleological sensibilities... but we would like some specifics about what lines of his deliberations you are most interested/ involved. One thing is for certain... he believed in the collective design initiative as the most advantageous of human endeavors to assure mankind's survival and preservation of a humane world society... an idealist, yes. This was not however at the cost of his 'real-world' awareness. He believed also in the steady and sure acquisition of "pattern integrities" that would lend themselves to reaching the necessary thresholds for the ultimate realization of real ("livingry") goals... that our real impediments lay with our rationalities, our treatment of media (resources), and the lack of methodological concern overall. He is responsible for bringing many out of the safe havens of pessimism and challenging them to take up the sure-fire path to frequent disappointment in being proactive optimists... a road less traveled, to be sure, but oh so much more noble!!!! Humanity can only benefit from this man's legacy and I dare say that his praises will be sung for centuries to come. His epistemological drive alone is laudable and, for us, a milestone in extending man's intellect to greater plateaus!!! Our group has followed his call for the creation of a conspectus of continuum, using octahedral matricies and dialectics for the creation of focal unities, whole system event integrities that indeed readily form into "implicate orders" depending on emphases taken. Mankind IS about to enter a brave new era in cybernetics and design though as always, it promises to be a 'mixed bag' of both positive and negative potentialities. I hope you found our message enlightening and of interest... we are always happy to connect with those seeking others who have taken up the proverbial gauntlet. Best of Wishes
