Chapter 1: Fractal Integrity

This chapter introduces the concept of fractegrity, a model for understanding integrity at all levels of existence, from the individual to the collective. The authors argue that fractegrity, a combination of the words “fractal” and “integrity,” emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things, suggesting that individual actions have a ripple effect impacting the well-being of the collective. They draw a parallel between the self-similar patterns found in fractal geometry and the application of integrity across different scales of life, demonstrating that a focus on individual integrity ultimately contributes to the strength and resilience of the whole.
