PATTERN: Pattern Language
In order to manage complex systems, we need a model with requisite variety.
Complex systems are not reducible to 'tree' diagrams. Nevertheless, humans have to address them effectively for viable civilisation to persist.
Pattern Language offers a framework for constructing extensible models of complex systems that are minimally reductive, through identification and documentation of recurring conditions throughout the system.
There is more about Pattern Language here.
