De principes vormen het bindmiddel tussen de Sociale Theorie en de Foundation. Vanuit de ST wordt gerefereerd naar de principes om concepten en ideeën nader te verklaren. Een principe wordt beargumenteerd in de Foundation en toegelicht met een voorbeeld van 250 – 1000 woorden. De principes moeten nog verder worden aangescherpt tot een statement dat op zichzelf te begrijpen is. Het principe mag wel een beetje cryptisch zijn zodat de lezer daarover gaat nadenken (bijvoorbeeld: Principle: we have to become what we are not, and yet remain the same.). Als het principe dan in context en theorie wordt geplaatst komt hopelijk het inzicht.

De practices zijn uitgebreide verhalen, op te vatten als een experience of een case study, 1000 – 2500 woorden.

Ground rule: We got to move.

We have no other option but to move.

Aspects and statements overview

• Reflexive Domain, defined in page: Principles and Ground Rules
• Exploring Change (The constant factor in life is movement.)
• Self-Reference in a Three-Valued System (Embrace the paradox, i.e., a difference in what was previously stated and therefore contradicting what was said before. Differences keep setting things in motion. Without differences we cease to exist. Therefore, change is inevitable, in fact, it is a necessity for living.)
• The Autopoietic Turn (Humans and social systems operate autonomously and my react when irritated.)
• Tradition, defined in page: Principles and Ground Rules
• Exploring Change (A system has to become what it is not, and yet remain the same.)
• Some-thing from No-thing (The relationship between things, including humans, is what matters. Something or someone cannot stand or be taken on its own.)

Principle	Description	Summary
We got to move	We have no other option but to move. First of all, we, as the social creatures we are, need meaningful interaction to move forward. Second, we have to adapt to changing circumstances.	We got to move.

Aspect: Worldview

Principle: Create room for manoeuvre, Principle page:

Description	Summary
The framework of ideas and beliefs forming a global description through which an individual, group or culture watches and interprets the world and interacts with it.	The way one views the world.

Statement page	Statement
Model Building - Human Activity Systems	A worldview (Weltanschauung) captures the beliefs, desires and intentions of a person.
Model Building - Human Activity Systems	The PQR formula (what, how, why) is pivotal for capturing worldviews.
Soft Systems Thinking – Soft Systems Methodology	People differ in worldviews, but nevertheless they typically adhere to aspects of multiple worldviews, which provides room for accommodation.

Aspect: Systems Thinking

Principle: Create room for manoeuvre, Principle page:

Description	Summary
Systems thining is an interdisciplinary field, incorporating ideas from philosophy, mathematics, physics, sociology, biology, and many more, to develop an overarching theory to understand complex phenomena from different perspectives. It is about understanding the whole through its parts. However, the parts cannot be understood without the context of the whole.	Systems thinking is the ability to understand and intervene in complex systems.

Statement page	Statement
Hard Systems Thinking – System Dynamics	A system comprised of a number of interacting feedback loops is a complex system whose behavior can surprise us.
Systems Thinking	A system as a whole is comprised of parts. Systems thinking is about understanding the interactions between the parts.

Aspect: Critical Reflection

Principle: Create room for manoeuvre, Principle page:

Description	Summary
Critical reflection is an activity during which we challenge the validity and appropriateness of our assumptions and beliefs within our present context.	Critical reflection is a way of ‘critiquing’ our practice systematically and rigorously.

Statement page	Statement
Determining Boundary Judgements with CSH	A constructive dialog can take place on the basis of first and second order boundary judgments.
Self-observation	Concentrate on how to look, instead of what to see.
Self-observation	You need someone else to point out your blind spots to you.

Principle	Description	Summary
Determine the right direction	Shared meaning: steer on what we value.	Determine the right direction.

Aspect: Cultural Identity

Principle: Determine the right direction, Principle page: Principles and Ground Rules

Description

Summary

Cultural identity is the identity of belonging to a group. It is part of a person's self-conception and self-perception and is related to nationality, ethnicity, religion, social class, generation, locality or any kind of social group that has its own distinct culture.

The definition of groups or individuals (by themselves or others) in terms of cultural or subcultural categories (including ethnicity, nationality, language, religion, and gender).

Statement page	Statement
Investigating Identity	Group identity refers to a person’s sense of belonging to a particular group.
Research Philosophy and Process	Research approach must be “for you, and with you”, instead of “for you, but not with you”.

Principle	Description	Summary
Determine the right direction	Shared meaning: steer on what we value.	Determine the right direction.

Aspect: Right Things

Principle: Determine the right direction, Principle page: Principles and Ground Rules

Description	Summary
From verification (doing things right) to validation (doing the right things).	Doing the right things right.
