“Since 1971, I have been concentrating my work on interpersonal relationships and the relationship between people and ecosystems. The results are Threeing (1976) and the Earthscore Notation (1991) - both strategies intended to ensure the survival of mankind. Threeing puts a stop to the dynamic of "two against one" and stabilizes a previously unknown level of cooperation between three or more people. Earthscore creates a common perception of environmental realities. "
