Generative Social Fields (GSF) is a body‐of‐work that is evolving out of the systems‐thinking space. Field concepts have roots in physics with Michael Faraday's discovery of electromagnetism, as well as in the social sciences with Kurt Lewin's development of social field theories. A key distinction in this body of work is “interiority,” that is, the degree to which a person views themselves as part of a system, or part a field. Otto Scharmer describes this in Theory U as,

“What differentiates social fields from social systems is their degree of interiority. Social systems are social fields seen from the outside (the third‐person view). At the moment we cross the boundary between them and step inside a social system – that is, at the moment we begin to inquire into its interiority by turning the camera around (from the third‐person to the first‐person view) – we switch the perspective from the social system to the social field (79).”

This idea is abstract, but points to concepts familiar within OHSMSs such as accountability, integration, and opportunity.
