Unfolding Wholeness

In Christopher Alexander's post-Nature of Order work, the ideas of Generative Code, Wholeness and Unfolding are strongly coupled.

Some reconcilation between designing goal-oriented and platform-oriented approaches can be understood through the distinction between Teleological Systems Development and Ateleological Systems Development. While the pattern language work of Christopher Alexander has largely been seen as ateleological, the philsophy behind the design of service systems is not always clear.
