Scale-free abstractions

Instruments for thinking with abstractions that work at every level of a system – a cell, a person, a group, a movement. Each lens lets you find something out in a model and carry the question back to a situation you know; some show the same pattern in a second, different system. Every lens has a group mode for working through it together.

“Scale-free” here means usable at every level. The suppression paradox also meets the physicist’s sense – no characteristic scale – and says so. More on both senses.
