OSE is attempting the CSCD process by starting on the personal, engaging simple infrastructure change processes (builds), and generating intelligent assets towards systems redesign. Significant assets are required for civilization rebuilds, a point which OSE heeds well in its organizational design.

			#The seventh is to manage the community as a nested network of support systems --ecological, infrastructural and built-environment – so that the way the community functions also helps sustain the CAS system upon which it depends.
			#The eighth is to appreciate and leverage the diverse knowledge systems that reside within and outside the community to identify and apply appreciative strategies and solutions.
			#The ninth is to integrate the community’s intelligent assets, learning- forward strategies, and local material flows to build local ability to thrive.

			''Together these principles can help communities and the people within them thrive by sustaining the health and productivity of the complex adaptive system, and by optimizing the potential of people in the community as intelligent CAS assets.''

	The first is for individuals and communities to commit to becoming appreciative. [7] The second is to shift from a problem-solving mentality to an appreciative inquiry (AI) approach that identifies and appreciates existing strengths as assets, and uses these to inform decisions and to catalyze more-appreciative decisions. The third step is to embrace complex system co- design (CSCD) 4 as an ethic, a proactive approach, and processes for learning-forward how to help CAS evolve in healthy, productive and sustainable ways. Using a CSCD approach can empower people to co-adapt as intelligent agents in complex system co-design processes, promote the co-adapted behavior of immense numbers of assets, and help redefine what it means to be human as intelligent assets in this appreciative system.
