The Integral Framework - A Map of the Whole
The four quadrants are NW,SW,NE, SE ( North West, South West, North East and South East)NW and SW are internal to the observer self - the eye at the centre
NE and SE are external to the observer
SE is the physical world, the well
At the centre is a lighthouse of nine storeys/levels. Climb up to get the eagle's perspective
The first level has all the maps, the second all the simple machines similar to the clock, 3rd advanced machines with self-regulation, 4th unicellular world, 5th world of plants, 6th animals, 7th the human, 8th organizations, 9th the level of metasystems - religion , science, philosophy etc
When you reach the top of the lighthouse , you can see where you were , prior to the climb , at the end of the line going up ( or down? ) from the level of animals in quadrant SE
Now one knows the light house position ( invariant ) and the ship's position ( variant)The direction for the journey can now be set, the compass function - towards bridging the gap between potenital and performance.
Had there been no gap we would have had a straight line in quadrant SE., a mirror image of NW. The gap is the waste , unrealised potential, road not travelled, blue ocean space, the domain for Metrics -inputs for course correction to make sure that the journey is one of improvement rather than speeding towards disaster.
SW is about learning, the process, the improvement and revision of mental models, models turning into maps and continual learning and improvement
NW - Frogs still left in the well, the external social system, history, barriers to transcend, opportunities There are some more important P s.Position , Process and so on
Well these are some hints.
