Wholes within wholes

The term holon was coined by Arthur Koestler in 1967 to describe something that is simultaneously a whole and a part. A cell is a holon: complete in itself, yet part of an organ. An organ is a holon: complete in itself, yet part of an organism. An organism is a holon: complete in itself, yet part of an ecosystem.

EvoBioSys applies this principle to its project structure. Each project has full autonomy — its own purpose, rhythm, and identity — while being nested within larger pillars and contributing to the coherence of the whole. This is not hierarchy in the command-and-control sense. It is holarchy: nested circles of increasing scope, where every level matters equally.

The three pillars — Evo (growing), Bio (living), Sys (systems) — are themselves holons within EvoBioSys. Below, you will find every project holon mapped across this structure.

Development, learning, culture

The Evo pillar holds projects that cultivate human development, historical understanding, community formation, and cultural memory.

Evo Legacy

EvoPaideia

Developmental education and integral learning. A long-term project to build educational frameworks that honor human developmental stages — from childhood through adult maturity.

Sub-holons

  • Athena — Developmental field project
Evo Active

World Lore

Historical knowledge and cultural memory. Recovering, preserving, and making accessible the deep currents of world history — particularly the stories that dominant narratives have buried.

Sub-holons

  • European History — European non-Roman indigenous past (book, v0.1 draft)
  • Historical Digital Maps — Interactive maps of historical territories
Evo Draft

Aligned European Ideology

A book and writing project articulating an aligned European ideology — one that draws on indigenous roots, integral philosophy, and a post-colonial reckoning with European history. Currently at v0.1 draft.

Sub-holons

  • European History — Shared research base with World Lore
Evo Draft

Universal Policy

A writing project exploring universal policy — principles and frameworks that could guide governance across cultural and national boundaries while honoring developmental complexity.

Evo Active

Community Hubs

The community building umbrella. Local hubs where people meet, coordinate, and build the social fabric that living systems depend on.

Sub-holons

  • Feldbach Community Hub — Weather tools, transportation, local resources
  • Integrales Wien — Integral community in Vienna (members: Jakob, Kaja, advisor Levi)

Stewardship, consulting, social finance

The Bio pillar holds projects focused on stewarding living processes — organizations, communities, and financial flows shaped by care rather than extraction.

Bio Active

Soaro

Startup consulting and stewardship. Soaro helps early-stage ventures find their footing through developmental support, strategic clarity, and a living systems approach to business. Lead: Jakob Possert.

Sub-holons

  • Soaro MVP — The minimum viable product tool for early-stage ventures
Bio Active

EvoBioSys Collective

The governance collective that coordinates the shared practices, agreements, and principles across EvoBioSys. Member: Jakob Possert-Bienzle.

Sub-holons

Bio Active

SoFin Collective

Social Finance collective (sofin.bio). A nested holon under both EvoBioSys Collective and the broader SoFin initiative, focused on building regenerative financial structures that serve life.

Bio Vision

Funding Flow Machine

A financial flow management system — infrastructure for tracking, directing, and visualizing how resources move through the EvoBioSys network. Making money flows legible and intentional.

Bio Active

EvoBioSys Capital

The animist investment studio. Representing the interests of living systems through investment — backing ventures that eliminate the false distinction between humans and nature.

Technology, tools, infrastructure

The Sys pillar holds the technical infrastructure — tools, platforms, and systems that give the holonic network its digital nervous system.

Sys Legacy

kidur

The tech foundation. "ki" (place/base/earth) + "dur" (bond/tie/enclosure) = foundational binding structure. The root from which EvoBioSys's technical projects grow.

Sub-holons

  • SilkNotes — Interoperating knowledge silos, local-first, open-source
  • In-Flow(.info) — Category of flow-state tools (SenseMeet, Heliocalendar, PitchPerfect)
  • Weave.txt / Weave.MD — Text weaving tool
  • Minor Infrastructure — Supporting systems
Sys Legacy

SilkNotes

Interoperating knowledge silos. A local-first, open-source system for connecting notes across tools without forcing everything into a single app. Nested under kidur.

Sub-holons

  • Logseq Plugin — SilkNotes integration for Logseq
Sys Vision

In-Flow(.info)

A category of flow-state tools nested under kidur. Designed to support deep work, presence, and natural rhythms in digital environments.
