- The Networking Game (Muller)
- "As we move towards the bimillennium perhaps networking will become
the new democracy, a new major element in the system of governance, a new
way of living in the global, miraculous, complex conditions of our strange,
wonderful, live planet spinning and circling in the prodigious universe
at a crossroads of infinity and eternity."
(Robert Muller, Assistant Secretary of the United Nations, quoted in J. Lipnack, The Networking Book) - Institutions in the Age of Mindcrafting (Hock)
- "Electronic communication systems emerging and interconnecting
into an equally complex, economic and social neural-network, around which
institutions would be forced to reorganize..."
("Institutions in the Age of Mindcrafting," by Dee Hock, at the Bionomics Annual Conference, 1994)" - Centralizing vs. Maximizing Intelligence (Work)
- "The branching tree-structures of bureaucracies are designed to
centralize the intelligence of the organization, but they are not capable
of maximizing it. To maximize intelligence, the number of interconnections
must be maximized, not streamlined into a two-dimensional branching structure."
(Duncan Work, in the "Human Nets & the Global Brain" conversation on the Metanet)
