@DLyons After translating sheafs of similar twaddle, I have a more pithy word for it.

Bravo! what a great find...

Yes, it should be "auto evolución" This is a quote from a Belgian paper, translated into Spanish. Here is the French original:

"Nous sommes six formateurs et intervenants dans le champ psychosocial qui nous rencontrons depuis février 2005 autour d'un projet singulier et décalé, expliquent-ils, dont les mots clés sont -pratiques professionnelles, intelligence collective et développement humain-. Chacun de nous est engagé depuis des années dans différents champs d'activités, en dedans et en dehors du cadre de notre organisation (formation des adultes, insertion socioprofessionnelle, thérapie, développement personnel, coaching...). (…) Nous nous reconnaissons comme -créateurs de contextes-, qui permettent l’auto évolution des systèmes. Créatifs et artisans, à la manière des compagnons bâtisseurs, mettant en œuvre l’art et la manière pour servir -d’accoucheurs de transformation-. -Compagnons artisans de l’émergence-, -nomades du sens-, qui veillent à ce que la pensée ne soit jamais en -état d’arrestation-, mais s'épanouisse en liberté et en ouverture [...]"

It does say that: Un grupo de profesionales supervisores
franceses recoge la siguiente percepción de la
figura del supervisor...so the quote in question was originally in French, it would be interesting to see what the orginal was....

Self-evolving does fit very well. I think that is the solution.

S Ben Price (asker) Feb 16, 2013:

Rough draft translation We work in the psychosocial environment in which we find ourselves ... a unique endeavour which aims to explain professional practices, collective intelligence, and human development. We view ourselves as creators of contexts that foment event-evolution of systems. We are creative artisans like our fellow stonemasons or builders in the application of art and the way of creating novel things... We are fellow craftsmen of the emergent (nomads of the senses), ensuring that reflection is never-ending, ensuring the possibility for an opening to flourish."(p.54)

"Auto" for "acto" was suggested to me, but there are so many instances of this quote, I find it ai bit difficult that everyone would just quote it with this glaring error.

DLyons Feb 16, 2013:

Auto-evolución? Self-evolving.

I'm stopping myself saying "psycho-babble".
