Synergetics

Synergetics' is a book by Buckminster Fuller, referring to the concept of either the output of a system not foreseen by the simple sum of the output of each system's part. A 'synergy' can also be defined as 'all sides contribute, and all sides win and recieve the collective output of all contributing". Such a concept we can see being active in human interaction like co-intelligence, or even obvious concepts like a wiki itself.
