making the implicit explicit

2d is a partial view

2d systems maps support us by organizing information, but they do not tell the whole story.

like floor plans and topography maps, 2d systems maps show only part of a bigger system.

we make sense of our world in 3d. we need 3-dimensions to grasp the wholeness of information and experience.

3d reveals more

systems have breadth and depth. seeing in depth reveals to us the implicit elements in our systems that are essential to their wholeness. it’s vital to help the implicit to become explicit when understanding and nurturing whole systems.

invisible becomes visible as we look spatially—as if we are standing inside systems. we can look around, connect with the whole, reveal insights, and make informed decisions and actions.

integrate the implicit

vital concealed elements and gaps in awareness may exist within and between your networks. 3d maps help develop shared vision across sectors. this integration helps networks move with integrity.

we make the implicit explicit in order to see clearly and bring responsive care to both the parts and the whole.

moving through systems

experiencing networks by moving through them spatially gives us access to even more sense-making and wayfinding within complexity. we understand our world and integrate our wholeness somatically in 3d.

3d modeling supports networks in developing shared awareness and acting in ways that hold wholeness with integrity and care.
