Unpredictability
The very idea of unpredictability may be incorrect: we may think things are predictable given the fact that when we look back we organize them in ways that seem they should have been predictable. In point of fact, the organizing only happens after everything is done, and then only in our minds. This says that community disorganizing is the only way we have of engaging the world: we are acting upon it and turning it, hoping for effect, and only after the fact can anybody say the work was organized.
