The document discusses principles of organic planning and service-oriented architecture (SOA). It argues that systems should be designed as a continuous fabric or web of interoperating services. Each new service or project should contribute positively to the overall system and be designed at multiple scales - upwards towards larger services, sideways with related services, and downwards by decomposing into smaller services. This organic approach allows order and coherence to emerge from distributed activity without a central authority, through SOA governance.
