Flow And Scale

Chapter 7 covers the connections between the Mereon Matrix and the work of R. Buckminster Fuller and Ron Resch are explored in detail, deepening the knowledge found in the Context. The Context's dynamics defines five "Jitterbugs', a process described by Fuller. The concept of scalability is expanded to include horizontal and vertical, inside and outside, up and down; it is shown how these characterisations are essential for application in natural and social systems. Fuller's impact on the world is realised today through his ongoing influence on engineering, design, architecture, science and the arts; the foundation he laid is used to those committed to creating sustainable systems. Authors suggest that in many ways this work rests on Fuller's foundation and evolves it, that applying the Mereon Matrix will catalyse further positive change, stable and long-lasting benefits. Evidence is also presented to demonstrate comparisons between the Context and the 120 Cell Dodecaplex.
