Would you say that a (financial) report is a projection designed to share information across holon boundaries? A public financial report shares information from the reporting entity to the public, while a management report shares information across an organization.
That projection itself is a holon, consisting of parts within parts. Once issued, the report does not change, making this projection a closed holon.
Yes. Any report is by its nature a closed holon. It's still useful - because you have the combination of knowledge graph and event (context) graph along with constraints, but what you're modelling is the organisation itself.
The outside user of the report (eg investor) does not have access to those graphs. For them the projection graph is the entity (when combined with other public information).
The inside user does have access to those graphs, but they have little use for the public report, beyond the mechanism of communication across boundaries.
I think entities and their information, communication and control requirements will be an interesting and complex space to apply this Holon approach.
