Really nice. My co-founder and I have been talking a lot about hierarchical modular networks—how information may be organized in complex systems—and thinking a about how this applies to a collective 'intelligence' in the plant kingdom or in a developed ecosystem (e.g. a old forest). I love your thoughts here as a parallel!

Richard, are you familiar with group relations? I think your thoughts on these systems within systems would benefit from exposure to these ideas. See some of the blog posts on https://grouprelations.org

Great article. Looking forward to the video later. Was only sorta paying half attention to the MS thing... until now. (You found the hook that pulled me in!)

Love this lens, Richard. Reminds me of Douglas Harding's distance experiments in the Hierarchy of Heaven: https://www.headless.org/search-page.htm?SearchKeyword=Archive+hierarchy-intro-copy

First time hearing of Microsolidarity, too, so thank you for the introduction!

Fascinating. I am going to play with this. I do feel a tenacity in myself around the uniqueness of the individual. I continue to feel we are all like snowflakes. Of course, my mind cannot comprehend they are all unique. But they are. And if it is beyond my mind, it seems divine. So I wonder how being unique and also being part of one large field are both true. I can be quick with my understanding and I think it skips over something. I am interested in your take on snowflakes as it relates to individual souls?
