DRO is the basis of Alfred North Whitehead's wiki 
process philosophy and of Mary Parker Follett's work wiki .
According to M. Stout the ideal-type ontology for a sustainable policy.
...a worldview that accommodates both connectedness and individuality is the key to success, or at least sustainability for humankind. (Stout: 395)
It is opposed to an Undifferentiated Relational Ontology (where every single individual is part of the same whole and collective consciousness) in that the individual doesn't gives up its identity.
# Features
- reality and life is an ongoing process - every single individual "is a big O" (the whole, e.g. "God", the system, an institutional culture) and "a little o" at the same time - every single individual connects to every other single individual - When trying to understand, reflect and discuss "the big O", we become a better understanding of it. - While doing so, we become part of that "big O", e.g. partially and cognitively divine. - If the individual interpretations of the "big O" are connected, a better understanding of the whole ("God", "the system" etc) can be reached. An understanding that could never be reached individually.
We can think to the heavens, but yet we live on Earth.
Theories that go along with this are for instance: social anarchism wiki (which basically rejects outside authority, yet create an own self-governed body), humanism, pantheism.
In contrast, undifferentiated relational ontologies underpin conceptions of the world where being a part of the whole gives you a sense of identity -> they translate in collectivism, statistics (where generalisations are made about an entire population and this doesn't say anything about your individual faith) and identity politics.
DRO is different from other forms of ontology in that it emphasizes change.
The more you talk to people the better you understand things. And the better you understand things, things are actually changing.
