Abstract

The article explains the crucial role of the dual paradoxical contrary ~ complementary properties of tensegrity. It is a neglected phenomenon in understanding how living things and their social organisations become self-regulating, self-managing and self-governing. Tensegrity is identified as a defining feature of the architecture of nature that drives evolution. Corporations that include tensegrity into the polycentric self-governing processes identified by Ostrom create an ecological form of governance for citizens to self-govern sustainability of their host bioregions for the global common good. This requires system scientists working with social scientists in educating students to become governance architects to custom design ecological corporations. Research opportunities are identified in testing six hypotheses that include fundamental aspects of the universe.
