Network level
DefinitionA network level groups entities of one kind — such as everyday life, mind and body — so a problem can be seen as a whole and yet examined in a focused way.
Entities can be sorted into categories: thing, feeling, action, process, person, system, organisation. Each category can be seen as its own network level. A trigger on one level activates entities on other levels — an everyday event touches the mind, which in turn nudges the body.
When thinking a problem through, it helps to first sketch the separate levels and sort the entities into them. This gives a whole picture and lets you pick out one level deliberately.
