The idea of Connected Systems is simply about recognizing that the world as we experience it is broken down into many, many arbitrary ways of conceptualizing how things work together or against each other.  By using [[Focus]] and [[Adaptation]] in the way we experience these systems, we start to find new meaning in the [[Relation|Relationships]] that will lead us to ways to [[Unlearn The Self]].

== How to approach each of these exercises ==
Connected Systems are just complex things that you encounter that are related to each other.  Examples are given below in detail, but a very simple example is a highway
* Play with your own perception, seeing systems in different ways, especially moving between each level of systems
* A highway
** With four or more lanes
** Some are going in the same direction
** Some are going in the opposite direction
* On the highway are vehicles
** Some vehicles are traveling in the same direction
** Some are traveling in the opposite direction
** Some are similar (red cars)
** Some are different (cars vs semi-trucks)
 
This is really just a starting point to understand the concept.  After recognizing the Connected Systems, relax your mind and experience the following things
* Play with your own perception, seeing systems in different ways, especially moving between the different systems you see (highway and vehicles)
** Within a system, notice there are parts (lanes, individual cars)
 
== How to approach each of these exercises TODO delete once I create a more approachable description ==
** individual parts - Notice they are discrete and autonomous in their own way - A rock is its own thing, disconnected from the other rocks in a pile.

** two or more individual parts - How do they relate and compare and contrast; how do they work together; what connects them and separates them
