Panarchy is “a useful way of thinking about cross-scale dynamics in complex adaptive systems.” Source

Panarchy, in modern terms, is both an emerging theory of local to global relations spanning all current disciplines (e.g. economics, political science, sociology), and a public intelligence concept that posits non-violent collective intelligence, with access to all true cost information, as the prevailing form of governance from local to global.

Panarchy is strongly associated with the concepts of agility at the individual respondent and collective intelligence (crowd or swarm) levels, the only means of achieving resilience that is inherently stabilizing.

Panarchy is the logicial end-state for Advanced Cyber/Information Operations, ultimately achieving transparency, truth, and trust by connecting dots to dots, dots to minds, and minds to minds, in a seamless sustainable manner.

Panarchy, to be effective, requires feedback loops with integrity (the absence of corruption, data pathologies, or information asymmetries).

Includes video of his full answer to the question about US Intelligence.

Phi Beta Iota: There is nothing in either of these that Jack Davis, Stephen Andriole, Andy Shepard, and a whole lot of others do not already know. Going through this stuff, one can only observe that it took them three years to get to the obvious, and that neither book addresses the fact that the US Intelligence Community remains focused on collection inputs, lacks integrity across the board, has no strategic analytic model or modern collection management plan that respects open sources in 183 languages, and relies for analytics on young people without substantive knowledge, US citizens with secret clearances two steps removed from reality, and a total ban on actually engaging with the 90-country minimum it takes to achieve M4IS2.
