Welcome!

This week's ESP Summer Seminar 2007 brought many of us together around themes of compexity, change, and instability. This Blog is intended as a forum for tossing some of these ideas around and seeing what sticks. I would like to propose, then, that we agree on at least one fundamental concept: Change as a constant factor in our AIE work. If we keep in mind that "A + B might equal C, but could also end up equalling D or E or Q, depending on complex and unpredictable forces over which we may or may not have any control," we'll not only maintain our humility, collaborative dynamics, and relevance to an unstable environment, we'll also have a lot of fun.
