This is what Abbo8 (2001) calls the fractal re-­‐parameterizaSon of morals and ethics within late modern capitalism (Williams, 2002: 120). 19 Savall connecSon •  Jenson (2007) says the relaSon between the micro scale and the macro scale is a long-­‐standing concern of social theory. •  Savall thinks in terms of the scale of sociotechnical relaSons in relaSon to socioeconomic/sociotechnical relaSonships 20 In Sum As this standards-­‐fractal becomes more mono-­‐
mythic, it encounters a counter-­‐narraSve, the way the professoriate is becoming posthuman resist becoming just cyborg-­‐professor, doing distance educaSon, the professor-­‐self no more than the informaSon-­‐materiality of their Internet, Google Scholar, citaSon counts, journal rankings, etc. 21 Part IV: Ecology/Quality Change Fractals -­‐ chapters: •  14.

Bernard Guillon and Gisèle Sigal 22 Quality/Ecology fractals: •  the ecosystem-­‐fractal sustains human and non-­‐human life; •  the standards-­‐fractal brings quality-­‐
compliance-­‐reporSng into soyware algorithms; •  fractals-­‐driven by commercial exploitaSon of earth result in global warming. 23 Fibonacci-­‐Spiral Ecology Fractal •  in the historical events (disease pandemics, famines, revoluSons, wars) in England, and poliScal turmoil daSng back to the 6th century (Pugesek, 2014) •  Fibonacci # series: 1 2 3 5 8 13 21… 24 ECO MulS-­‐Fractal Veta la Plama Fish Farm, SPAIN •  They replace a (narrow focus) MONO-­‐FRACTAL of agribusiness with a MULTI-­‐FRACTAL of different kinds of fractals •  ferSle soil, fresh water for fish and birds form an eco-­‐network •  E.g.
