Interact
“All real living is meeting.” — Martin Buber
Intelligence doesn’t live in nodes... it lives in the interactions between them. Every conversation, every question, every shared decision is a signal. Systems don’t change because of plans... they change because of interactions that change people. When people feel safe to share what they know, need, see, and feel... the system becomes capable of adapting. Interaction is how systems come alive.
Why We Interact
Interaction is not just the byproduct of good design... it is the design.
​
In living systems, intelligence emerges not from isolated nodes, but from the quality of interaction between them. When teams don’t interact well, organizations become brittle. But when people share, learn, and act together... systems become adaptive, resilient, and wise.
