The daily, working goal of Lewis-works is to the effective articulation and gradual development of its componential subsystems and resources to accomplish the defined missions of the Lewis-works framework. From this, we may identify grand goals, or meta-goals, intermediate or mid-range goals, and short-term or local goals that vary widely with the context of their application. Lewis-works may be said to function within a goal hierarchy, but this hierarchy is neither rigid nor so received that its goals cannot shift or change with the development of the framework or its components.</div> <bR> <div> The main goal of the Lewis-works framework may be said to consist of the application of the GWM to the realization and organization of alternative resources and working systems, to achieve long-term development of an alternative system of global development and distributed integration that transcends ethno-national and ethno-cultural differentials and that is capable of achieving sustainable adaptation within an environmentally friendly context. This system is seen as potentially existing outside of and as an alternative supporting framework for preexisting socio-political and structural systems, and as a means for supporting such systems in a positive way and constraining the negative social and environmental consequences of such systems. </div> <bR> <div> Intermediate goals of the Lewis-Works framework consists in the successful implementation of departmental strategies and projects in a coordinated manner that promotes metasystemic development of such an alternative system. </div> <bR> <div> Short-range goals consist of the daily articulation and application of the resources of the departmental subsystems, and thereby of the Lewis-works framework as a whole, to the achievement of successful intermediate goals in what may be called a "user friendly" environment.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>  <p align="center"> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> s="na";c="na";j="na";f=""+escape(document.referrer) </script> <script language="javascript1.2" type="text/javascript"> s=screen.width;v=navigator.appName if (v != "Netscape") {c=screen.colorDepth} else {c=screen.pixelDepth} j=navigator.javaEnabled() </script> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function pr(n) {document.write(n,"\n");} NS2Ch=0 if (navigator.appName == "Netscape" && navigator.appVersion.charAt(0) == "2") {NS2Ch=1} if (NS2Ch == 0) { r="&size="+s+"&colors="+c+"&referer="+f+"&java="+j+"" pr("<A HREF=\"http://www.TheCounter.com\" TARGET=\"_top\"><IMG"+ " BORDER=0 SRC=\"http://c1.thecounter.com/id=515383"+r+"\"><\/A>")} </script> <NOSCRIPT> <a HREF="http://www.TheCounter.com" TARGET="_top"><img SRC="http://c1.thecounter.com/id=515383" ALT="TC" BORDER="0" width="88" height="31"></a> </NOSCRIPT>   </div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
