It seems to me that activities emerging from the chaotic domain often organize via structures we call heterarchies and holarchies.

Yes, and what some of us call wirearchies:

- Identify a purpose (this is what may or will be emerging in chaotic activities)
- Identify and enroll the skills, motivations and personalities necessary to address the purpose in a constructive and/or creation-of-value way (typically, within one or more social networks).
- Identify and create the infrastructure for effective and constructive communication and collaboration (the web services and social tools that are increasingly commonplace and free or inexpensive)
- Open the infrastructure to the "crowd of interest" on the web (unless it is a commercial endeavour on the part of a now-grouping of ppl, as in a consulting group that emerges from peoples' interactions) .. it can be participative social media marketing on the part of companies, or advocacy and activist dynamics on the part of not-for-profits
- Create practical metrics that a group or network actually understand and believe in, and refine as the networked wirearchy grows, sustains or wanes.
- Refine, adjust, adapt (it's critical to ensure social 'hygiene' and seek, then instill ways of building and sustaining trust)

They (wirearchies) come and go ... flowing with the ongoing activities in networked markets and institutions and industries. More formally structured organizations also actually undergo rolling change, but the tools the orgs use to understand their structures often don't easily acknowledge that rolling flow of change.
