Cover Story: The substrate-independence theory focuses on social systems capable of learning, self-organizing, and adapting to their environment. As a sense-making theory, it aids leaders and practitioners in building and understanding their landscape through the development of counterfactuals to help to identify adjacent pathways. Adjacent pathways start with understanding where you are (e.g., situation, problem, environment), followed by identifying coherent pathways from where you are (counterfactuals), experimenting with these alternative pathways (e.g., probing, parallel experimentations), and being open to alternative pathways (e.g., potential future states). These pathways become information in real time that is distributed using the least amount of energy necessary. This theory provides praxis for sense-making in organizations. View this paper
