epistemological ways of unifi cation and diversifi cation for our own good
(Kelso and Engstrom 2006, Longo et al. 2012).
Unaccompanied, the divergence way or the convergence way does
not quite grasp the essence of creativity required by self-evolvability.
Tendencies to diverge should interplay the tendencies to converge and
it is the metastable mixture of both that matters for high complexity
management.
The need for both epistemological ways fi nds a strong support in the
studies of metastable coordination ...
