Introduction

Since reading Stafford Beer’s “Platform for Change” in 1975 my thoughts about relationships and their implications have continued to evolve. After being at this for almost five decades now I figured it’s probably time to explicitly write down what I think I’ve learned in all that time, maybe before I forget most of it.

Over the years there have been numerous insights which would have served me well had they surfaced years earlier. Along the way I’ll endeavor to surface them in this work per chance you may find them useful as well. In this way you might not have to wait years for them to show up.
