# Flexflow

## **Flexflow is the architecture for coherent organization in a complex world.**

Built on three interlocking layers and grounded in a universal ontology of organization, it gives you the architecture to sense your environment, orchestrate coordinated action, and cultivate coherence, from a single team to an entire ecosystem.
