Design Innovation and Innovation Ecotones.pdf (application/pdf Object)
While mangroves, themselves, are the dominant, or keystone species, of the tropical estuarine ecotone, their rhizomic root system is also analogous to the entire ecotonal ecosystem itself. It negotiates the air/water interface as a third thing.
From Carl Jung, to Deleuze and Guattari, to authors of hypertext, rhizomic systems have fascinated so many because they replace hierarchical constructs with an alternate model of heteregeneity and multiplicity. The rhizomic system is a model of integrated multiplicity and managed disturbance, both made highly productive for the regeneration and evolution of the total system. As a distributed system of populations, but one that functions as a single organism, the rhizomic structure is a precise and prolific analogy for the innovation ecotone space that this paper has put forward.
