Daniel Thorson, the host of the podcast titled ‘Emerge: Making Sense of What’s Next’ has created a trilogy of interviews with Bonnita Roy, author, philosopher and insight guide in which they discuss the conceptual primes of power, trust and collective action. The idea of these three as emerging properties sparked my interest and has since changed how I consider interpersonal relationships.

The first episode is titled ‘A Source Code Analysis of Power’, you may find it below or at any of your favorite podcast channels.

Below are my visual notes. I use them as a reminder to keep the formula in mind, as well as to remember to distinguish between emerging phenomenons and the functions that generate them.
