Global communication. The full extent of society associated phenomena as yet unrealised. The recalcitrant few at bay.

Smith, R. D. (1998) 'Social Structures and Chaos Theory', chapter 5.1, Connectionism.

"Complexity theorists have realised that only when all the sandgrains can 'communicate globally' with one-another do the phenomena associated with sandpiles manifest themselves. Connectionism thus appears to be essential."

Notions of a whole and the parts the whole is made out of. Notions of a system and the subsystems the system is made out of. From the system mind and the ideas the mind is made out of. The system society and the individuals the society is made out of. The system humanity and the societies humanity is made out of.

Societies, the sandpiles, individuals the sandgrains. When all the individuals can 'communicate globally' with one-another then the phenomena associated with societies will manifest themselves. Individuals in societies the world over in endless communication, strive to achieve the 'global' level, taken as being within the bounds of each society as such. Forgetting for a moment that each of these societies is in turn a subsystem, a part of humanity, at the society level the one-another communication is constantly undergoing to reach society's global level, for each individual to communicate globally with one-another.

As by communication can not be taken as the mere exchange of information, but communication that enables the system to manifest the phenomena associated with societies, that lays down the attributes of the system. where each and every one within the society participates in their making.

From the societies of nowadays where the attributes abided by society, as they become evident in the laws, customs, norms, habits, are communicated by the few, only the few realise their apparent potential, and the many struggle hopelessly to accommodate themselves. The struggle they put, fire up the intrinsic mechanisms resident within the society, towards its consummation. The law laid out by sandpiles and sandgrains. A deterrent the recalcitrance of the few.

The full extent of the phenomena associated with societies, have not as yet been manifested. Individuals struggle to communicate at society's global scales still goes on.
