Tetralemma

Stuck between two options? The Tetralemma adds three more positions: both, neither, and none of this. Walking through all five often opens a way you had not seen.

The board

Step into each position. Click a field, stand in it in your mind and write what you notice there.

What has changed?

After walking through all five positions: what do you see now that you didn't see before? What is your next step?

The Tetralemma comes from classical Indian logic. Its use in systemic work goes back to Matthias Varga von Kibéd and Insa Sparrer. Texts written by RiskRiot.
