About Yala WorldThe Yala is a platform for collaboration, designed to aid the emergence of collective intelligence. How does it work? Emergence is characteristic of complex adaptive systems. These are the subset of complex systems able to learn in their parts and as a whole. The European Union, the stock market, ant colonies, the biosphere, the ecosystem, the brain, the immune system, the cell and the developing embryo are all complex systems that learn, change, adapt and grow. Four actions aid emergence: connect neighbors, invite feedback, display patterns, and control indirectly... All are baked into the process of creating a Yala."Yala" is the Guna Indian word for "homeland, sanctuary, safe place to talk".Yala WorldYW_13fb448a-3cf2-11e2-be62-88f873e3672eThe Yala will help you to solve the most intractable problems – whether strategic, economic, political or cultural. Its structured feedback and clear displays provide valuable insight to organizations in business and the community. At Yala World, we want to make it easy for you to get results, and we don’t want to make you dependent on us for advice. So we’ve kept our software simple and spent a lot of time documenting it. Solution of the most intractable problems_13fb49f8-3cf2-11e2-be62-88f873e3672eTo improve the quality of dialogue at the "interfaces" of complex relationships._13fb4ac0-3cf2-11e2-be62-88f873e3672eDialogueDialogue is thinking together in a conversation with a center and no sides. A better quality dialogue is likely to be more articulate, symmetrical and authentic. Consequently the prerequisites for dialogue guide the relatively simple interactions that give rise to the complex phenomenon of collective intelligence. Some of these rules are implicit in the Yala’s design, others openly on display in guidelines for web-based communication.ArticulationSymmetryAuthenticityCollective IntelligenceCollective Intelligence is a shared or group intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition of many individuals and appears in consensus decision making in bacteria, animals, humans and computer networks.CollaborationCompetitionConsensusEmergenceEmergence is a name for the way that complex systems and patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple interactions. Self-Governance"Understanding emergence has always been about giving up control, letting the system govern itself as much as possible" says Steven Johnson, author of Emergence: the Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities and Software.ConnectionConnect neighbors _13fb4b38-3cf2-11e2-be62-88f873e3672e1_13fb4bb0-3cf2-11e2-be62-88f873e3672eFeedbackInvite feedback _13fb4c1e-3cf2-11e2-be62-88f873e3672e2_13fb4c96-3cf2-11e2-be62-88f873e3672ePatternsDisplay patterns _13fb4d04-3cf2-11e2-be62-88f873e3672e3_13fb4d86-3cf2-11e2-be62-88f873e3672eControlControl indirectly_13fb4e08-3cf2-11e2-be62-88f873e3672e4_13fb5128-3cf2-11e2-be62-88f873e3672e2012-12-02http://www.yalaworld.net/About/tabid/84/Default.aspxOwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
