When people see patterns in the world, they often assume that there is some type of centralised control, even when it does not exist. This ‘centralised mindset’ could act as a braking function on the spread of organic networks — if people are not able to think about and understand the decentralised interactions that underlie organic networks, they will not be able to conceive, design, implement, and sustain such networks. In this paper, I discuss how we can help people move beyond the centralised mindset, helping them develop more ‘ecological’ styles of thinking that are more suited to the era of organic networks.
