It may be a matter of logical necessity that we will always lose some value, information or organisational order as a necessary consequence and cost of the existence of ordered structures and systems. The extent to which we might intentionally orient or bias those systems and aspirational organisational ecologies within which we all exist towards collaborative systemic or ecological principles of mutual benefit is an open question. Extracting psychological self-interest from the critical importance and naked fact of (also) individually and collectively seeking existential continuity is an entangled Gordian Knot still pending sufficiently well-honed analysis.
