I wrote a book based on a bunch of his stuff that is a pattern language for a new post-capitalism financial system.(And yes it is blockchainy)

Amazon: https://amzn.to/2u5HBHY Free here: https://skilesare.github.io/immortality/ Shortcut to the pattern language: https://skilesare.github.io/immortality/the_pattern_language...

I'd also highly recommend Thriving Systems Theory and Metaphor-Driven Modeling by Leslie J. Waguespack that is based on his ideas in Nature of Order.

If you like this stuff, check out Thriving Systems Theory and Metaphor-Driven Modeling.

It takes the 15 properties and integrates them across system choice centers. Some interesting things fall out of it:

1. Levels of Scale -> Stepwise Refinement 2. Strong Centers -> Cohesion 3. Boundaries -> Encapsulation 4. Alternating Repetition -> Extensibility 5. Positive Space -> Modularization 6. Good Shape -> Correctness 7. Local Symmetries -> Transparency 8. Deep Interlock and Ambiguity -> Composition of Function 9. Contrast -> Identity 10. Gradients -> Scale 11. Roughness -> User Friendliness 12. Echos -> Patterns 13. The Void -> Programmability 14. Simplicity and Inner Calm -> Reliability 15. Not Separateness -> Elegance
