Principles 28-29

"Even small changes introduced to the system may produce discontinuous, unpredicted effects (28).


Adaptive changes within a system can grow from learning generated by the individual interactions in the networks of system participants (29)."


(Metropolitan Development as a Complex System:  A New Approach to Sustainability, Judith E. Innes and
David E. Booher, Working Paper #699, University of California at Berkeley, December 1997).
