This looks interesting!

"Fractal approaches to scaling transformations to sustainability"

Abstract
"Responses to sustainability challenges are not delivering results at the scale and speed called for by science, international agreements, and concerned citizens. Yet there is a tendency to underestimate the large-scale impacts of small-scale, local, and contextualized actions, and particularly the role of individuals in scaling transformations. Here, we explore a fractal approach to scaling sustainability transformations based on “universal values.” Universal values are proposed as intrinsic characteristics that connect humans and nature in a coherent, acausal way. Drawing on the Three Spheres of Transformation framework, we consider how enacting universal values can generate fractal-like patterns of sustainability that repeat recursively across scales. Fractal approaches shift the focus from scaling through “things” (e.g., technologies, behaviors, projects) to scaling through a quality of agency based on values that apply to all. We discuss practical steps involved in fractal approaches to scaling transformations to sustainability, provide examples, and conclude with questions for future research."

And then here is me looking ahead at what I'll be doing in 2023 and the practices involved. It's all about transitions.

Composting work.
Moving resources.
Staying with the trouble.
Tending to new soil.

What I mean by those things and who I'm doing them with, is here > cassierobinson.medium.com/beco

👋🏻 an overdue . I’m a designer and strategist currently working to improve government products and services. (A long, long time ago, I used to say “if only asking ‘why’ was a job…” turns out it is!) (1/x)

Quick — Hi! 👋 I'm Ben Mosior (rhymes w/ "closure").

I teach and enjoy thinking about and things like the Ideal Present w/ @cyetain. Co-authoring a Pip Deck on with @postobject.

Just migrated from mastodon.online, which felt too big. Here feels better, like something I could be a part of.

Please say hi if you want! I'd like to meet you!
