Joe Truss, who is the Syntegration Development Director will talk to us about his thinking of extensions to the Syntegration process and their implications. In particular, his design for a one-day eighteen person event to release the otherwise necessary constraint of needing between at last two up to four days to hold an event tha has proven to be more time than many potential users wish to spend.

He will introduce the ‘Hyper-Duals’, which are Regular Polyhedra embedded in their duals. Eg, tetrahedron / tetrahedron (is its own dual), cube / octahedron, icosahedron / dodecahedron, and cubeoctahedron and its dual.

Bucky Fuller’s ‘tensegrity’ or tensile integrity is a balance of tension and compression through orthogonal forces in a single structure. It is the basis of synergistic integrity or the ‘Syntegrity’ of Team Syntegrity forms. The dynamics of the Hyper-Dual forms differ in that tension and compression are dictated by omni-directional forces that derive from both the structure and its dual form.

The one-day protocol offers an opportunity to deal with two sets of topics – the internal and external topics - which lends itself to applications where there are two logical sets of relationships or topics, and one can be ‘embedded’ in the other. An example could involve two groups – one representing System 4 (focusing on outside and then) and one representing System 3 (focusing on inside and now) – who need to meet to agree on a set of plans that are both coordinated and comprehensive. This would apply to all organizational levels, especially where there is a hand-off of accountability to an implementation or project management team. In terms of protocol development, with the regular hyper-duals, there are clearly delineated embedded levels where, unlike Syntegration where the connectivity is all on the surface, there are two interconnected spheres which can be treated as distinct information domains to meet organizational or logical distinctions.
