[ubuntu-za] The Dymaxion Thread

[David Robert Lewis]

I guess this is probably going to lead to a posting on Indlovu and leads 
on from my earlier quesioning about versioning, and how we can escape 
the insane Canonical versioning system, whilst still adhearing to Ubuntu.

The Dymaxion, is a word I use to refer to the final form of a 
technology. It was coined by an associate of Bucky Fuller who saw it as 
an encapsulation of his ideas.

In which case, the idea is that for most instances, nothing can be done 
to improve the basic form of a solid, eg: a Geodesic Dome.

For example, an Icosohedron is a basic structure. Once technology 
reaches its dymaxion or  ultimate truth, no advancement can occur unless 
there is a paradigmatic shift to a new level of organisation or 
consciousness. I'm not about to get religious hear, its just easy to 
forget that most progress happens relatively early on in any project and 
over time reaches stasis, unless a new form of radical organisation is 
proposed.

Hence the Dymaxion Thread.


Hope you all have a great Sunday filled with Ubuntu
