To develop a system of governance that gives everyone the opportunity to realize their fullest potential as humans, we need to go back to the PIE roots of system and learn to ‘stand together’ with a common purpose. In this way, we could cocreate an organized whole, able to see the whole of creation, the meaning of system when it entered the English language in 1619, the same year in which Johannes Kepler’s magnificent The Harmony of the World was published.
The modelling methods of information systems architects, as ‘master builders’, tell us how this could be done. For these have evolved into Integral Relational Logic, as the Contextual Foundation and coordinating framework for the Theory of Everything, the glorious culmination of all scientific inquiries.
1619, ‘the whole creation, the universe’, from Late Latin systēma ‘an arrangement, system’, from Greek sustēma ‘composition, a whole compounded of parts; organized government’, from stem of sunistanai ‘to place together, organize, form in order; unite; compose, create, cause; stand together’, from sun- ‘together, with’, from PIE base *ksun-, and istanai ‘cause to stand; set up, establish’, from PIE base *stā- ‘to stand, make or be firm’.
