Relating

In my last post, I brought up emergent properties, personality *as* an emergent property, a definition of 'integrity', one concept of ownership and two of partnership, and then shoo'd you all away before the avalanche of ideas buried me. That was about five hours ago; I went and hid my head under a pillow, and now I'm up again.

The idea that seems important at the moment is that the concept of 'relating' is the same, whether it's me relating with myself, me relating with a partner, me relating with multiple partners, me relating to a larger group, or any of the other people or groups relating between themselves. The idea is completely scaleable, and I haven't yet figured out *why* this is so important.
