Stafford designed Syntegration based on the architectonics of the icosahedron. He invented it to mitigate the enormous homeostatic disequilibrium between S3 and S4. He chose the icosahedron because he accepted Buckminster (Bucky) Fuller’s assertion that ‘all systems are polyhedra’, and knew what Plato had discovered and elucidated that there are only five Regular polyhedra. As Stafford needed the equivalence of the regulars and the largest one to accommodate the high variety of the interactions, he chose the icosahedron that has 30 edges (participants), 12 vertices (topics) and 20 faces (FACE planning). This became the Staffgraph Syntegration as described in Beyond Dispute.
Over the past 20 years I have continued to work with my wife and partner, Christine Truss (then Cullen), who was key to developing the logistics systems in the early days of Syntegration events. She helped to develop the roles of organizer, facilitator and logistician and has worked closely with me on developing the structures and geometry of the ‘Tetraverse’, a set of universal structures derived from a first principle approach to understanding complex science without the formal mathematics. Our approach uses cosmology as a frame to validate the geometry and the construction of models to encourage whole body learning and comprehension. We are jointly writing ‘Book of Codes’ about this Universal geometry.
This webinar will deal with the development of the meta-architecture that informs Team Syntegrity and will show how it underlies the regular polyhedra and structure in general.
It will go beyond the findings in the paper: the coherent architecture of Team Syntegrity – from small to mega forms, by Truss, Cullen and Leonard, which will provide a good introduction to the structures of Syntegration.
