The largest system in the physical realm is our universe. It provides the best examples of organizing principles.

#OrganizingPrinciples

1. Everyone is in

Everything in the physical realm came from a common source / point of singularity—Big Bang—a grain of sand medium.com/predict/3-argu…

#singularity

Everything, including us, is made of ‘star stuff’ universetoday.com/117494/what-do… and everything is part of the same holistic system.

2. Everyone is interconnected

The universe is filled with attractive forces be they gravity / anti-gravity, magnetism, dark energy, dark matter, etc.

#attraction

Everything is interconnected no matter how much the universe expands and whatever forms and relationships among particles and waves that make up matter and energy coalesce and evolve.

#interconnectedness

3. Everyone’s behavior impacts everyone else

Because everything is interconnected, anything we think, say, or do perturbs the overall system and this, in turn, affects everything that comprises it to some degree—cause and effect on an epic scale.

#CauseAndEffect

One is responsible for one’s actions and is held accountable by the system for the consequences of those actions whether intended or not.

#accountability

Accountability relates directly to justice which entails establishing and enforcing rules that respect EVERYONE (all agents) in the system and, when followed, limit negative consequences due to the behavioral choices by those agents. Despite best efforts we don’t do rules well.
