# Synergetics **Domain:** Geometry / Systems Thinking / Design Science **Doc Type:** Concept Node **Maturity:** Evolving **Related:** [[Buckminster Fuller]], [[Design Science]], [[Whole Systems Thinking]], [[Ephemeralization]] --- ## Definition **Synergetics** is Buckminster Fuller's exploration of geometric and systemic relations, emphasizing behavior of wholes not predictable from isolated parts. ## Corpus Context [[articles/Beyond the Sea|Beyond the Sea]] uses synergetics to connect nested scale, structural economy and planetary provisioning. The concept supports [[Scalar Nesting]] without implying that every scale is identical. ## Key Insight **This node connects its historical or conceptual subject to the corpus without treating analogy as proof of direct influence.** ## See Also [[Buckminster Fuller]], [[Design Science]], [[Whole Systems Thinking]], [[Ephemeralization]] ## Sources / Provenance - [[articles/Beyond the Sea|Beyond the Sea]] - https://www.bfi.org/about-fuller/big-ideas/synergetics/
