The hierarchical structure of most modern "businesses" doesn't work so well (only in environments where significant subsets of the "usual" rules are relaxed/ignored is it possible to reliably foster creativity).   So how to get people together? 

• team
• group
• organization
• business
• state
• county
• city
• town
• village
• community
• family
• tribe
• sect
• church
• temple

So that's a pretty long list and I didn't even try much already.  Cell is a weird enough label for a group (and let it be said explicitly that all the words in the list up above are there for the single semantic meaning which refers to all the people who live in ___, not for alternate meanings (like geographic location)).  So I don't know that I want to rule out anything, I just want to try to figure out if on average, a team of 5 is better than a team of 20, and if you have to have a team of 7, how exactly should you do things differently from the team of 5 (or the team of 20). 

And then assuming that the above query can be answered, there's a scaling question.  How do these cells get aggregated (or if not, how is that handled?) in order to somehow set a "process" in place for conducting effective scaling?  Because there are complex problems that need solving that are going to need hundreds (if not thousands) of brilliant people collaborating in order to solve them.  Maybe the size of the cell is what really needs to scale (so that in the end, there's just a huge totally flat organization), but I'm doubting that'll be the most interesting result.  

I'm totally convinced that it's going to be a problem with a lot of pretty obvious solutions and I'm going to try to start building at least one organization soon on top of these principles.  I don't know yet for sure what this organization will do (nor why it needs to exist), but I'm sure all will become clearer in time :-]

Lots more details about human interaction, different personality types, how different individuals find motivation, how different individuals have wildly differing (and probably all somewhat valid) concepts of efficiency/usefulness/etc... will all be revealed soon.  For the moment, I'm just letting this gel until I can be more clear about what I'm "feeling".
