Also, speak to how this system concept might impart added impetus to your various "spheres of influence." You may also want to consider how "geodesic principles" appy here: words like "synergy," balance or equilibration, complementarity, and "critical mass," is also a plus... Thanks in advance, to those who make the valid and supreme effort... if a could delegate points for each "super" responce I would.

Tensegrity is a portmanteau of tensional integrity. It refers to the integrity of structures as being based in a synergy between balanced tension and compression components.
The term "tensegrity" was first explored by artist Kenneth Snelson to produce sculptures such as his 18 metre high Needle Tower in 1968. The term 'tensegrity' was coined for Snelson by Buckminster Fuller. Fuller is best known for his geodesic domes, which he developed based on concepts explained and demonstrated by Snelson through sculptures. The term "synergetics" may refer more abstractly to synergetic systems of contrasting forces.

The hypothesis that cells can behave like structures in which shape results from balancing tensile and hydrostatic forces.
