## Definitions
Considering the smaller or less important parts or details of a plan, organization, etc. first:
— [Cambridge dictionary](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/bottom-up)

Progressing upward from the lowest levels (as of a stratified organization or system)
— [Merriam-Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bottom-up)

A bottom-up approach is the piecing together of systems to give rise to more complex systems, thus making the original systems sub-systems of the emergent system. Bottom-up processing is a type of information processing based on incoming data from the environment to form a perception
— [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-down_and_bottom-up_design)




## Impact

The term, `bottom-up`, reinforces and even restores a perception of a hierarchy.

it is also prone to self and/or collective acknowledgement and emphasizing a state of being in a
[lower ground](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5orH1D8mwl0).

referencing and affirming that (bottom) position as origin to move away, as-is, leaves no space or even further requirement for interpretation.

## Alternative Usage

When meaning including ideas of anyone, that want to participate in positive change, rather than saying `"let's do it with a bottom-up approach"`, use below alternatives or find something that is semantically immune to lose against perception of autority, level and hierarchy.

let's do it ..
- together
- collectively
- proactively
