This mode has been my primary vehicle. You captured the spirit and potential. I, too, have been thinking about Story Fields for many decades, but never put a label to them. It is a very important meme, and needs further development. I don't know how much to write in a comment, as I am not sure what the access to it will be. So, I will probably repeat this in a post somewhere. I envisioned your "storycology" with a bit more process precision. I called it scripting/performing cycles. The scripting would be the story creation and distribution, but they would have behind them scripts for specific project implementation, including provision for constructive feedback. It was an upgrade of Lewin's Action Research. Many scripts would be open for innovation, and there would be scripts for composing scripts. What whole system organization existed was to seaf the process and insure that no top down control attempts would succeed. I feel that the "nature" of human motivation is such that simply making available stories for performance is not sufficient. I offer myself as one exemplar of this barrier. May we break through on this at the Story Field Conference. nuet Tom, I finally read your excellent future history story. This mode has been my primary vehicle. You captured the spirit and potential.
