Communities that endeavor for change gather around social objects, shared object of care that are embodied ubiquitously in the system in different forms as place, people, resource, structure, process, or outcome.

These social objects are generally oriented towards generating access, equity, caring, livelihood, thrivability, replicability or sustainability (desired outcomes/goal type of metadata). The common thread is in the protection and in the nurturing and reproduction of the distributed factors of opportunity and of ongoing health and thrivability of the system that ensure its ongoing regeneration.

clusters or self-directed social subsystems of cooperating, specialized agents sharing common values, visions and goals, and therefore able to agree on pathways, courses of action and roadmaps.

Each social subsystem has its own modes of operation, observation and interpretation (locative metadata), based on a reality that is only a partial vision of the world.
