Essentially it is a metaphysics of "information" and "organization" in the biological and social sciences. It developed as part of the standard grammar for an animated flow-chart energy language.
The last 1/3 will show some examples, touch upon how institutions in economics correspond to the pattern, compare the very different type of system in climate and ecology (i.e. flow-through webs,) and end with a very simple summary. It will be posted shortly.
The little black bar at the bottom is for the time-cursor and the symbol list, which I don't add until the animation is entirely finished. (To see how that works, please look at some of the other animations. Click on "leearnold," above.)
After this one is finished, it's back to the more mundane stuff.

its obvious but its not, its close but far away, in all senses, we are living breathing fractals of some true self that is too small to comprehend, or too big, either way, it is what it is. Thanks for paying attention to detail ;) and even more thanks for sharing your insights and creativity! :) PLUR
lee, ive watched all ur videos.... i just naturally assumed that ud developed software to accomplish all this.... that uve actually done it all "by hand" in adobe cs makes it all the more impressive.... kudos to u, sir! this is what its all about.... the development and evolution (& eventual transcendence?) of communication....
WOW. I am totally impressed. You are an ambitious man to try to pull this off. I salute you. Have many comments and thoughts, too many to list here. Instead, I'll leave you with a parting thought about the final picture. It looks like a mandala. Hmm. A lot to ponder. Thank you!
I like your ecolanguage very much just as a way to describe difficult things in an understandable way. However, I think, that the language won't work effective enough just on paper; without animation and spoken comments. I think, the world need some software for recording explanations in ecolanguage, where they can easily add and connect elements, create animations and record some voice.
I use Adobe Illustrator and After Effects. I love them, but they are a lot to learn. I am told I could use Flash, but I don't know that program.
If enough people like it and want it, it will be possible to write software to make rudimentary ecolang, because many of the motions repeat, as regular parts of the grammar. The question is, how to let people add different motions and other things, to make it their own.
As it stands now, you have to learn a general animation program. Sorry!
Useful graphic language and delightfully scripted animations. In contrast to the simpler ecological diagrams, a concept that multiplexes and equilibrates all knowledge doesn't seem to add to existing knowledge representations. In other words, I question any ontological significance of the forms themselves.
