These are documents created by the ECOSYS team since 2009 to frame the project, and get everyone working from the same page. There is a general desire now to minimize process discussions, but we'll pull these pictures and supporting details back out when/if needed.

| EcoSys Process Model | 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 | Framework for EcoSystem Change: Process Models for [1] Current State [2] Evolution | Original process flows for an Adaptive Learning mechanism ("Ecosys") that is designed to generate balanced, diverse external inputs to complex, dysfunctional social ecosystem. A key aspect of this solution is that it is NOT overly influenced by the prevailing solution paradigms of the incumbent system. We believe that Ecosys is a CAS (or "Complex Adaptive System"). |
| Six Steps to Unlock Social Innovation | 6 Steps. Process model for flow of new process. Introduced repeating loops in exploration (discovery) phase and single exploitation (solution) phase. Reflects CAS explore/exploit decision process. | ||
