    Shades of Buckminster Fuller's "conceptual tetrahedron"!

    However, how is a five pointed figure a tetrahedron, as in the structure with "purpose" at http://www.treelight.com/startup/TetrahedralModel.html?

    One of the most powerful understandings of "purpose" and "self-organization" I've seen is that of Francisco Varela in his use of the term autopoesis. In this case the question is how marketing, technology, and leadership (you call it organization) both are _driven by_ purpose and _participate to create_ purpose in a process of continual adjustment to changing technology/market conditions (which they themselves are influencing).

    Cheers,
    Mark
