 Clues may not arise immediately which is why adjacent spaces need to be found. A move of six or so spaces should uncover the clues needed to move on. Clues may not arise immediately which is why adjacent spaces need to be found.

-The notion of adjacency was developed out of emergence theory, viz. an idea that a network will find a solution faster than an individual. In other words the adjacent spaces and the knowledge within them hold the clues to the solution.+The notion of adjacency was developed out of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence|emergence theory]], viz. an idea that a network will find a solution faster than an individual.

 For example if there are 50 points on a circle, you would imagine you have to go through each point to complete the circuit, but if there are a number of weak links in the circle where one vaguely knows about another, then all of a sudden you can jump to a place where you only have two more points to reach the end instead of 40. For example if there are 50 points on a circle, you would imagine you have to go through each point to complete the circuit, but if there are a number of weak links in the circle where one vaguely knows about another, then all of a sudden you can jump to a place where you only have two more points to reach the end instead of 40.
  
-The weak links are the key to making the network phenomenon work. It’s not what you think is going to work, but some offhand or obscure remark, which ,if picked up on, could take a client to a perspective they haven’t seen before. This could bring them closer to a solution than they might be if the most obvious line of inquiry were followed.+The weak links are the key to making the network phenomenon work.

 The movement between adjacent spaces coupled with the use of simple iterations, over and over, will allow the facilitator to merely guide the process and a network solution will occur. The movement between adjacent spaces coupled with the use of simple iterations, over and over, will allow the facilitator to merely guide the process and a network solution will occur.
