The document discusses the concept of "netness", which refers to the emerging state of ubiquitous connectivity where lives and systems are increasingly interconnected. As connectivity becomes more prevalent, networks transform into fields and lives become more entangled. This shift represents a fourth state of connectivity beyond being loosely, closely or embedded connected. When all things can connect, safety, capability and opportunity increase, making connectivity vital for optimizing products, business models and governance. Moving forward, further study of connectivity's value and focus on pervasive networks is needed.
