Part II — Dimensions · 05
Relationships, Co-currents and Countercurrents
Relationships are described hydraulically: co-currents that carry work along, countercurrents that hold it back — and the recognition that a countercurrent is often information rather than obstruction.
Second, revised edition · CURRENT Companion
The question it turns on
Which relationships are carrying this work, and which are quietly resisting it?
Concepts in this chapter
- Co-currents
- Countercurrents
- Resonance
- Relational orientation
Where the argument is contested
Treating resistance as information is generous and can be naive; some countercurrents are simply interests. The chapter refuses to collapse the two.
To sit with
- — Where is a countercurrent telling you something the plan has not accounted for?
- — Which relationship do you rely on without ever having named it?
