The first step of coordination is **visibility**. The right hand simply knowing what the left hand is doing is a pre-requisite for them working together.

I found this map which I think helps illustrate the **surface area** and **volume** metaphor. There are 38 little dots (high **volume**) but only 15 connections outside their local groupings (low **surface area**).

It's hard to persuade someone to alter or change their project, but it's easy to get them to answer questions about it. And if a single list of fediprojects is too unwieldy, then having a list of such lists could help as well.

In Timothy Gallwey's "The Inner Game of Tennis", he points out that sometimes, when people try to hit the ball better, they fail; but when people just try to watch the ball better, they succeed in hitting it better without trying. The principle was also applied to musicians playing versus listening to a sequence of notes.

An organism is only one kind of biological system. A bee hive or a coral reef or a forest ecosystem are also kinds of biological systems.
