Richard Davidson & Al Kaszniak & John Dunne & Adam Frank & Amy Cohen Varela & Perla Kaliman & Joan Halifax: VARELA SYMPOSIUM: The Science of Connection, Complexity, and Emptiness (Part 8 of 8)

Summary: Sensei Al Kaszniak opens this discussion by summarizing the talks from Adam Frank and John Dunne earlier in the day. The panel is then opened to questions from participants in the audience as well as other faculty members. Questions from the audience focus on process and self-organization in networks, and specifically on the connections between nodes, rather than on networks or nodes as discrete entities. John and Adam also talk about the ontologization of relationship and how theories and words are just “fingers pointing at the moon.”<br> <br> For Series description, please visit <a title="Part 1" href="https://www.upaya.org/2019/05/varela-science-emptiness-1-8/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Part 1</a>.<br> To access the entire series, please click on the link below:<br> <a title="Upaya Podcast Series: VARELA SYMPOSIUM 2019: The Science of Connection, Complexity, and Emptiness" href="https://www.upaya.org/2019/06/davidson-kaszniak-dunne-frank-cohenvarela-kaliman-halifax_varela-series-8-parts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Upaya Podcast Series: VARELA SYMPOSIUM 2019: The Science of Connection, Complexity, and Emptiness</a><br>
