The "chemistry" of a meeting may be explored as the sequence or pattern of reactions taking place at a certain rate, possibly in the presence of catalysts. A meeting may also be seen as a "chemical soup" within which new varieties of complex molecules may emerge under certain conditions.[2. Biochemical and metabolic processes:]
The range of possible meeting processes may be seen as constituting a map of pathways whereby various kinds of essential transformation take place with the assistance of specific enzymes.
[3. Environmental genetics:]The viewpoints represented and emerging at a meeting may be seen in terms of species and gene pools linked and isolated by food webs and ecological niches, but subject to genetic drift and mutation. Such environments may be poor, vulnerable, or in process of enrichment. Meetings may be seen as ruled by the "law of the jungle".
[4. Ecosystem:]The various perspectives and processes may be best mapped by some onto an image of some environmental system with different species interacting, procreating and developing somewhat at the mercy of the elements.
[5. Energy sources and sinks:]Some may choose to see the event in terms of sources of different qualities to be cultivated, energy receptacles to be created and maintained, and energy sinks or traps to be avoided. The whole event may be seen in terms of gathering and using ch'i energy.
