Anisotropes...

Imagine! When I first checked out naming the Anisotropic Road blog many years ago, there was virtually nothing to be found. At least, I didn't stumble upon any significant use of the term on the net. Today, a casual attempt to find this page resulted in the discovery of a number of other pages. This is great!

My own attraction to the term has grown from exposure to the writings of the Strugatsky brothers in the early 80s. nd the substance of that attraction has grown as I have, observing that so much of what we seek to achieve as individuals and collaborators exists within contexts that appear very differently when viewed from differing standpoints.

To me, organisations and societies are the quintessential anisotropic entities.
