Individual phenomena (at the participant level)

• Endless learning and mastering dynamic process, mastery of an Art (know-how, expertise...) — see personal development
• Practice of a behavioral and relational discipline (related to expertise), accordance of the egosystem? with the ecosystem. This strongly involves the art of dialogue.
• Strong affective context (feeling of belonging, trust?...)
• Continuous and global perception of the whole
• Accepted and practiced explicit and implicit rules - (see social contract?)
• Capacity to take action and react according to this perception, using degrees of freedom given by the group's rules
• Use of standards? and norms? (concepts, rituals, measures, etc)
• Memory?
• A vision
• A culture

Global phenomena (at the group level)

• Acts as a global homogeneous entity
• Emergence principle?: the resulting entity is more than the sum of its parts
• Adaptative to complexity
• Probabilist fulfilment of objectives (in opposition with deterministic fulfilment as seen in vertically controlled structures)
• Equipped with an information system (that can be seen as a nervous system but not exclusively)
• Memory?
• Holographic phenomena (the whole everywhere and nowhere) - see Pribram?, Wilber, Bohm
• Making and circulation of standards? and norms?
• A vision
• A culture

Dynamic phenomena between the individual and the collective level

• Negative feedback loop? and positive feedforward loop?: not only stabilizing the whole system, but also allowing creativity to evolve in complex context
• Ongoing two-way information flows between individual and collective levels
• Positive sum circularity, cross-fertilization
• Statistical Mechanics? generating probabilist dynamics (opposed to deterministic)
• Downward Causation?
