The concept of scale

We all live in our own little worlds, resonating with a spin state that sometimes intersects common reality. The comprehension of how the concept of scale works can affect actions that impact your future reality. Each person's reality functions on a set of community values that are held in common within the realm of friendship, levels of trust that you develop in personal, business and professional spheres.

The idea of behavior on a 'national' sphere is incomprehensible to me as an individual developing a novel community thought paradigm. What works on adjacent scales is necessarily continuous, and must be explained in terms of the scale we are on. Social currency is a means of getting relatively even exchange between scales that don't necessarily value the same things.


Sometimes we hear what we expect to hear and not what the other person is saying. Community has to work for each individual, else they will go somewhere else. The options are being redefined as we transcend an old way of life for a fractal form of what we have had. Order and chaos resonate in the same field - too much order works out just as bad as too much chaos.

Rather than solve all the imaginary problems of the world at once, we should focus on evaluating the real situation in terms of what we have and in terms of what we wish to have. Guidelines for acceptable behavior are changing to fit different circumstances. Frustration mounts as the processes start consuming the focus of our attention. There is no 'there' there. We are here in a world where the game is changing. Let's take the time to figure out what it is that we really want on the scales we choose to deal upon.
