Abstract
Contrasts the linear narrative of modernity with the process narrative of the ancient Taoists of China. Written in process narrative, provides a narrative based on the metaphor of the spiral rather than the straight arrow of modernity. Presents a premodern Taoist definition of diversity and applies it to the community literature as an alternative to modernist organizational theory based on process narrative.
