The Squiggle Sense
“Either/or thinking is a major stumbling block to human development and understanding. In this book Kelso & Engstrøm offer a whole new way of looking at the world, awakening a “sixth sense” that people didn’t realize they had. It draws on the profound relationship between nature’s many complementary contraries and the paradigm shifting science of coordination called Coordination Dynamics. The human brain~mind, through the multi- and metastable modes of its coordination dynamics, gives rise to a sentient faculty called the squiggle sense. Nature’s contraries are perceived not only as opposing polar states, but as coexisting complementary tendencies, symbolized by the squiggle (~). Use this book to nudge your brain~mind into its metastable mode again and again, to better perceive the complementary dances of contraries, and to transcend the detrimental narrow-mindedness of polarized, either/or thinking. As a “Metastabilian” you can wield your squiggle sense to enhance and advance your life!”
The Complementary Nature
“Why do we divide our world into contraries? Why do we perceive and interpret so many of life’s contraries as mutually exclusive, either/or dichotomies such as individual~collective, self~other, body~mind, nature~nurture, cooperation~competition? Throughout history, many have recognized that truth may well lie in between such polar opposites. In The Complementary Nature, Scott Kelso and David Engstrøm contend that ubiquitous contraries are complementary and propose a comprehensive, empirically based scientific theory of how the polarized world and the world in between can be reconciled. They nominate the tilde, or squiggle (~), as the symbolic punctuation for reconciled complementary pairs. Experiments show that the human brain is capable of displaying two apparently contradictory, mutually exclusive behaviors at the same time. Coordination dynamics—a mathematically expressed theory that reconciles the scientific language of “states” with the novel dynamical language of “tendencies”—attests to the complementary nature inherent in human brains and behavior. It may explain, Kelso and Engstrøm argue, why we (and nature) appear to partition things, events, and ideas into pairs. Kelso and Engstrøm’s account is not just metaphorical; the reconciliations they describe are grounded in the principles and mathematical language of the theory of coordination dynamics. The Complementary Nature provides a clear-cut methodology for this evolving theory of brain and behavior that can also be applied to areas and developments outside the neurosciences, hence aiding reconciliations within and between disparate fields.”
Coordination Dynamics
“Coordination represents one of the most striking, most taken for granted, but least understood features of living things. Recently a new foundation for understanding coordination has emerged called Coordination Dynamics. This book brings together scientists from all over the world who have defined and developed the field of Coordination Dynamics. Grounded in the concepts of self-organization and the tools of nonlinear dynamics, appropriately extended to handle informational aspects of living things, Coordination Dynamics aims to understand the coordinated functioning of a variety of different systems at multiple levels of description. The book addresses the themes of Coordination Dynamics and Dynamic Patterns in the context of the following topics: Coordination of Brain and Behavior, Perception-Action Coupling, Control, Posture, Learning, Intention, Attention, and Cognition.”
Dynamic Patterns
Forward by Hermann Haken: “For the past twenty years Scott Kelso’s research has focused on extending the physical concepts of self-organization and the mathematical tools of nonlinear dynamics to understand how human beings (and human brains) perceive, intend, learn, control, and coordinate complex behaviors.
In this book, Kelso proposes a new, general framework within which to connect brain, mind, and behavior. Kelso’s prescription for mental life breaks dramatically with the classical computationall approach that is still the operative framework for many newer psychological and neurophysiological studies. His core thesis is that the creation and evolution of patterned behavior at all levels—from neurons to mind—is governed by the generic processes of self-organization.
Both human brain and behavior are shown to exhibit features of pattern-forming dynamical systems, including multistability, abrupt phase transitions, crises, and intermittency. Dynamic Patterns brings together different aspects of this approach to the study of human behavior, using simple experimental examples and illustrations to convey essential concepts, strategies, and methods, with a minimum of mathematics.” Kelso begins with a general account of dynamic pattern formation. He then takes up behavior, focusing initially on identifying pattern-forming instabilities in human sensorimotor coordination. Moving back and forth between theory and experiment, he establishes the notion that the same pattern-forming mechanisms apply regardless of the component parts involved (parts of the body, parts of the nervous system, parts of society) and the medium through which the parts are coupled. Finally, employing the latest techniques to observe spatiotemporal patterns of brain activity, Kelso shows that the human brain is fundamentally a pattern forming dynamical system, poised on the brink of instability. Self-organization thus underlies the cooperative action of neurons that produces human behavior in all its forms.”

Fluxor Metastabilian’s Synopsis:
“The squiggle order~chaos embodies one of the deepest complementarities of existence. Order provides stability, structure, and predictability. Chaos brings turbulence, unpredictability, and the seed of novelty. Their dance shapes the dynamics of life, nature, and thought itself.”
Dynamical Mode 1: Only order
Definition: A state of pure stability, structure, and predictability. The system is entirely regular, leaving no room for disruption.
Examples: A crystal lattice; a strictly regulated hierarchy; ritual repeated without deviation.
Notes: Though secure, pure order can be rigid, brittle, and unable to adapt when conditions change.
Dynamical Mode 2: Only chaos
Definition: A state of complete turbulence, unpredictability, and flux. Structures dissolve in constant change.
Examples: A stormy sea; social collapse; improvisation without any frame or ground.
Notes: Chaos undermines coherence, but also contains the possibility of transformation and creation.
Dynamical Mode 3: Either order or chaos
Definition: The system alternates between ordered stability and chaotic disruption, but never both at once.
Examples: A political regime swinging between authoritarian control and anarchic unrest.
Notes: This is exclusivity — one pole dominates, and the other is absent.
Dynamical Mode 4: Both order and chaos
Definition: Ordered structures and chaotic turbulence coexist in the same system.
Examples: A living organism maintaining structured physiology while adapting to unpredictable environments.
Notes: Order and chaos interpenetrate, producing complexity and resilience.
Dynamical Mode 5: Order → Chaos
Definition: Order unravels into chaos as structures collapse or dissolve.
Examples: A financial system crashing into crisis; a carefully planned project falling apart.
Notes: The breakdown can be sudden and cascading, exposing hidden fragilities.
Dynamical Mode 6: Chaos → Order
Definition: Chaos reorganizes into structure; turbulence crystallizes into new stability.
Examples: A flock of birds shifting from scattered flight into synchrony; cosmic dust forming stars.
Notes: This is emergence — novelty and organization arising from disorder.
Dynamical Mode 7: Between order and chaos
Definition: A liminal zone where order and chaos intermingle dynamically.
Examples: The “edge of chaos” in complex systems, where adaptation and creativity thrive.
Notes: This is a generative state — balanced tension between rigidity and turbulence.
Dynamical Mode 8: Neither order nor chaos
Definition: A state outside the play of both stability and disruption.
Examples: Perfect stasis with no motion; a void without turbulence or form.
Notes: Here, there is no structure, no flow — only suspension.
Dynamical Mode 9: Beyond order and chaos
Definition: A transfigured state in which the very distinction between order and chaos dissolves.
Examples: Taoist philosophy’s recognition of unity beyond opposites; deep metaphysical insight into reality as whole.
Notes: At this level, order and chaos are not contraries but complementary aspects of a deeper ground.

TSS: “Only motion, only rest, either motion or rest, both motion and rest, motion changing to rest, rest changing to motion, between motion and rest, neither motion nor rest, beyond motion and rest…”
Fluxor Metastabilian’s Synopsis: “The squiggle motion~rest captures the pulse of existence as activity and stillness. Motion brings flow, change, and transformation; rest grants pause, stability, and renewal. Their interplay underlies rhythms of body, mind, and cosmos.”
Dynamical Mode 1: Only motion
Definition: A state of unceasing activity, flow without pause.
Examples: A rushing river; ceaseless thought; relentless social or technological change.
Notes: Pure motion can become turbulence — directionless, unanchored, exhausting.
Dynamical Mode 2: Only rest
Definition: A state of complete stillness and stability, absence of activity.
Examples: A mountain unmoved; deep dreamless sleep; the silence of meditation.
Notes: Pure rest can bring peace but also stagnation if isolated from movement.
Dynamical Mode 3: Either motion or rest
Definition: Alternation between activity and stillness, but not at the same time.
Examples: Waking life and nightly sleep; work and vacation; breathing in and holding still.
Notes: The organism cycles between expenditure and recovery, one giving way to the other.
Dynamical Mode 4: Both motion and rest
Definition: Simultaneous presence of activity within stillness or stillness within activity.
Examples: The poised dancer ready to leap; the meditative walk; quantum fluctuations at rest.
Notes: Motion and rest interpenetrate — stillness hums with motion, motion carries stillness.
Dynamical Mode 5: Motion → Rest
Definition: Activity subsides into stillness.
Examples: A storm calming; a runner finishing a race; thoughts settling into sleep.
Notes: Rest restores balance, allowing motion to be renewed.
Dynamical Mode 6: Rest → Motion
Definition: Stillness gives rise to activity.
Examples: Seeds stirring after dormancy; awakening from sleep; silence birthing music.
Notes: Motion emerges naturally from rest, carrying its gathered potential into action.
Dynamical Mode 7: Between motion and rest
Definition: A threshold where stillness and activity are indistinguishable.
Examples: The breath paused at its turning point; twilight between day’s movement and night’s rest.
Notes: This liminal zone is alive with tension, a poised readiness.
Dynamical Mode 8: Neither motion nor rest
Definition: A suspension outside both activity and stillness.
Examples: A void of inactivity before creation; paralysis of indecision; pure potential not yet moving or settled.
Notes: Neither flowing nor still — existence hovers unmanifest.
Dynamical Mode 9: Beyond motion and rest
Definition: A transfigured state where the very distinction dissolves.
Examples: Cosmic equilibrium where motion and stillness are one; mystical experience of timelessness.
Notes: Beyond both activity and stillness lies the ground of being — neither moving nor resting, yet containing both.

Flexor Metastabilian’s Synopsis: “The squiggle emotion~passion is subtle and rich. It deals with intensities of feeling, their grounding in life, and their transformations…”
Dynamical Mode 1: Only emotion
Definition: Emotion is the broad spectrum of human affect — transient, diverse, sometimes soft, sometimes stormy. Gentle, passing states of feeling without escalation into passion.
Examples: Feeling sadness at a film scene, a moment of delight at music, brief anxiety before a conversation.
Notes: Here, feelings remain in the everyday register, shifting and dissolving with circumstance.
Dynamical Mode 2: Only passion
Definition: Passion is emotion amplified, focused, and given enduring force — a sustained fire rather than a flicker. Burning intensity without the subtle play of lighter emotions.
Examples: A revolutionary’s unwavering drive; romantic obsession; unrelenting artistic devotion.
Notes: Passion overwhelms smaller feelings, becoming an enduring force that shapes action and identity.
Dynamical Mode 3: Either emotion or passion
Definition: The psyche alternates — sometimes dwelling in passing feelings, sometimes seized by passion, but not both at once.
Examples: A scholar at times calmly reflecting (emotion), at other times fiercely pursuing a discovery (passion).
Notes: Life shifts between softness and fire, but never in the same moment.
Dynamical Mode 4: Both emotion and passion
Definition: Simultaneous presence of fleeting feelings and enduring drives.
Examples: A parent passionately committed to their child’s wellbeing, while at the same time experiencing everyday joys and frustrations.
Notes: The spectrum interweaves — passing moods circulate within the steady flame of passion.
Dynamical Mode 5: Emotion → Passion
Definition: The escalation of a simple feeling into a sustained drive.
Examples: Attraction becoming love; indignation swelling into political activism.
Notes: Passion is often born from the seed of an emotion, given depth, repetition, or focus.
Dynamical Mode 6: Passion → Emotion
Definition: The dissolution of passion back into lighter feelings.
Examples: The cooling of romantic intensity into affection; artistic obsession settling into quiet enjoyment.
Notes: What once burned as fire subsides into sparks of feeling, still alive but less consuming.
Dynamical Mode 7: Between emotion and passion
Definition: An intermediate zone where feeling hovers on the edge of intensity.
Examples: A performer on stage whose nerves balance between mild excitement and passionate immersion.
Notes: This liminal zone is often the most fertile, where emotion strains toward passion without fully igniting.
Dynamical Mode 8: Neither emotion nor passion
Definition: A state of affective neutrality, absence, or suppression.
Examples: Emotional numbness after trauma; meditative equanimity beyond feeling.
Notes: The psyche rests without the play of moods or the flame of intensity.
Dynamical Mode 9: Beyond emotion and passion
Definition: A transfigured state in which both emotion and passion are surpassed.
Examples: Mystical union described in spiritual traditions; a philosopher’s state of serene clarity untouched by affect.
Notes: Beyond both flicker and flame lies a different ground of being — one not driven by affect at all.

Fluxor Metastabilian’s Synopsis: “The squiggle life~death is the primal rhythm of existence. Life affirms growth, change, and continuity. Death brings cessation, dissolution, and return. Yet their relation is never final — life and death interpenetrate, giving rise to cycles of renewal, decay, and transformation.”
Dynamical Mode 1: Only life
Definition: A state of pure vitality, growth, and continuity. Existence is affirmed without regard for endings.
Examples: A flourishing ecosystem in spring; a newborn child; unbroken creative energy.
Notes: Life in isolation may forget its finitude, striving endlessly without reflection.
Dynamical Mode 2: Only death
Definition: A state of complete cessation and dissolution, without the pulse of vitality.
Examples: A barren desert; a withered organism; total annihilation in thought or matter.
Notes: Pure death removes all becoming, leaving only absence and silence.
Dynamical Mode 3: Either life or death
Definition: Existence alternates between vitality and cessation, never present together.
Examples: The cycle of day (life) and night (death-like stillness); cultural eras of flourishing followed by decline.
Notes: Here the poles are exclusive — one rules as the other recedes.
Dynamical Mode 4: Both life and death
Definition: Life and death coexist, bound together in every moment.
Examples: Cellular turnover where growth and decay happen simultaneously; compost giving rise to new plants.
Notes: Death feeds life, and life carries death within it. They are inseparable companions.
Dynamical Mode 5: Life → Death
Definition: The transition of vitality into cessation.
Examples: The aging process; the falling of autumn leaves; the close of a creative cycle.
Notes: Life inevitably tends toward death as a natural phase of its unfolding.
Dynamical Mode 6: Death → Life
Definition: The renewal of vitality from cessation.
Examples: Seeds sprouting after winter; cultural rebirth after collapse; resurrection myths.
Notes: Death is not final but generative, the ground from which new life emerges.
Dynamical Mode 7: Between life and death
Definition: The liminal zone where vitality and cessation blur.
Examples: Near-death experiences; twilight states between waking and sleep; mythic underworld journeys.
Notes: This in-between often births transformation, where boundaries dissolve.
Dynamical Mode 8: Neither life nor death
Definition: A suspension beyond both vitality and cessation.
Examples: Deep dreamless sleep; mystical voids; states of pure potential without manifestation.
Notes: In this suspension, neither pulse nor silence dominates — only stillness.
Dynamical Mode 9: Beyond life and death
Definition: A transfigured state where the opposition itself dissolves.
Examples: Enlightenment traditions that see birth and death as illusions; cosmic unity beyond duality.
Notes: Beyond life and death lies Being itself — the undivided ground of existence.

Fluxor Metastabilian’s Synopsis:
“The squiggle order~chaos embodies one of the deepest complementarities of existence. Order provides stability, structure, and predictability. Chaos brings turbulence, unpredictability, and the seed of novelty. Their dance shapes the dynamics of life, nature, and thought itself.”
Dynamical Mode 1: Only order
Definition: A state of pure stability, structure, and predictability. The system is entirely regular, leaving no room for disruption.
Examples: A crystal lattice; a strictly regulated hierarchy; ritual repeated without deviation.
Notes: Though secure, pure order can be rigid, brittle, and unable to adapt when conditions change.
Dynamical Mode 2: Only chaos
Definition: A state of complete turbulence, unpredictability, and flux. Structures dissolve in constant change.
Examples: A stormy sea; social collapse; improvisation without any frame or ground.
Notes: Chaos undermines coherence, but also contains the possibility of transformation and creation.
Dynamical Mode 3: Either order or chaos
Definition: The system alternates between ordered stability and chaotic disruption, but never both at once.
Examples: A political regime swinging between authoritarian control and anarchic unrest.
Notes: This is exclusivity — one pole dominates, and the other is absent.
Dynamical Mode 4: Both order and chaos
Definition: Ordered structures and chaotic turbulence coexist in the same system.
Examples: A living organism maintaining structured physiology while adapting to unpredictable environments.
Notes: Order and chaos interpenetrate, producing complexity and resilience.
Dynamical Mode 5: Order → Chaos
Definition: Order unravels into chaos as structures collapse or dissolve.
Examples: A financial system crashing into crisis; a carefully planned project falling apart.
Notes: The breakdown can be sudden and cascading, exposing hidden fragilities.
Dynamical Mode 6: Chaos → Order
Definition: Chaos reorganizes into structure; turbulence crystallizes into new stability.
Examples: A flock of birds shifting from scattered flight into synchrony; cosmic dust forming stars.
Notes: This is emergence — novelty and organization arising from disorder.
Dynamical Mode 7: Between order and chaos
Definition: A liminal zone where order and chaos intermingle dynamically.
Examples: The “edge of chaos” in complex systems, where adaptation and creativity thrive.
Notes: This is a generative state — balanced tension between rigidity and turbulence.
Dynamical Mode 8: Neither order nor chaos
Definition: A state outside the play of both stability and disruption.
Examples: Perfect stasis with no motion; a void without turbulence or form.
Notes: Here, there is no structure, no flow — only suspension.
Dynamical Mode 9: Beyond order and chaos
Definition: A transfigured state in which the very distinction between order and chaos dissolves.
Examples: Taoist philosophy’s recognition of unity beyond opposites; deep metaphysical insight into reality as whole.
Notes: At this level, order and chaos are not contraries but complementary aspects of a deeper ground.

motion~rest
TSS: “Only motion, only rest, either motion or rest, both motion and rest, motion changing to rest, rest changing to motion, between motion and rest, neither motion nor rest, beyond motion and rest…”
Fluxor Metastabilian’s Synopsis: “The squiggle motion~rest captures the pulse of existence as activity and stillness. Motion brings flow, change, and transformation; rest grants pause, stability, and renewal. Their interplay underlies rhythms of body, mind, and cosmos.”
Dynamical Mode 1: Only motion
Definition: A state of unceasing activity, flow without pause.
Examples: A rushing river; ceaseless thought; relentless social or technological change.
Notes: Pure motion can become turbulence — directionless, unanchored, exhausting.
Dynamical Mode 2: Only rest
Definition: A state of complete stillness and stability, absence of activity.
Examples: A mountain unmoved; deep dreamless sleep; the silence of meditation.
Notes: Pure rest can bring peace but also stagnation if isolated from movement.
Dynamical Mode 3: Either motion or rest
Definition: Alternation between activity and stillness, but not at the same time.
Examples: Waking life and nightly sleep; work and vacation; breathing in and holding still.
Notes: The organism cycles between expenditure and recovery, one giving way to the other.
Dynamical Mode 4: Both motion and rest
Definition: Simultaneous presence of activity within stillness or stillness within activity.
Examples: The poised dancer ready to leap; the meditative walk; quantum fluctuations at rest.
Notes: Motion and rest interpenetrate — stillness hums with motion, motion carries stillness.
Dynamical Mode 5: Motion → Rest
Definition: Activity subsides into stillness.
Examples: A storm calming; a runner finishing a race; thoughts settling into sleep.
Notes: Rest restores balance, allowing motion to be renewed.
Dynamical Mode 6: Rest → Motion
Definition: Stillness gives rise to activity.
Examples: Seeds stirring after dormancy; awakening from sleep; silence birthing music.
Notes: Motion emerges naturally from rest, carrying its gathered potential into action.
Dynamical Mode 7: Between motion and rest
Definition: A threshold where stillness and activity are indistinguishable.
Examples: The breath paused at its turning point; twilight between day’s movement and night’s rest.
Notes: This liminal zone is alive with tension, a poised readiness.
Dynamical Mode 8: Neither motion nor rest
Definition: A suspension outside both activity and stillness.
Examples: A void of inactivity before creation; paralysis of indecision; pure potential not yet moving or settled.
Notes: Neither flowing nor still — existence hovers unmanifest.
Dynamical Mode 9: Beyond motion and rest
Definition: A transfigured state where the very distinction dissolves.
Examples: Cosmic equilibrium where motion and stillness are one; mystical experience of timelessness.
Notes: Beyond both activity and stillness lies the ground of being — neither moving nor resting, yet containing both.

Yet their relation is never final — life and death interpenetrate, giving rise to cycles of renewal, decay, and transformation.”

emotion~passion

Flexor Metastabilian’s Synopsis: “The squiggle emotion~passion is subtle and rich. It deals with intensities of feeling, their grounding in life, and their transformations…”
Dynamical Mode 1: Only emotion
Definition: Emotion is the broad spectrum of human affect — transient, diverse, sometimes soft, sometimes stormy. Gentle, passing states of feeling without escalation into passion.
Examples: Feeling sadness at a film scene, a moment of delight at music, brief anxiety before a conversation.
Notes: Here, feelings remain in the everyday register, shifting and dissolving with circumstance.
Dynamical Mode 2: Only passion
Definition: Passion is emotion amplified, focused, and given enduring force — a sustained fire rather than a flicker. Burning intensity without the subtle play of lighter emotions.
Examples: A revolutionary’s unwavering drive; romantic obsession; unrelenting artistic devotion.
Notes: Passion overwhelms smaller feelings, becoming an enduring force that shapes action and identity.
Dynamical Mode 3: Either emotion or passion
Definition: The psyche alternates — sometimes dwelling in passing feelings, sometimes seized by passion, but not both at once.
Examples: A scholar at times calmly reflecting (emotion), at other times fiercely pursuing a discovery (passion).
Notes: Life shifts between softness and fire, but never in the same moment.
Dynamical Mode 4: Both emotion and passion
Definition: Simultaneous presence of fleeting feelings and enduring drives.
Examples: A parent passionately committed to their child’s wellbeing, while at the same time experiencing everyday joys and frustrations.
Notes: The spectrum interweaves — passing moods circulate within the steady flame of passion.
Dynamical Mode 5: Emotion → Passion
Definition: The escalation of a simple feeling into a sustained drive.
Examples: Attraction becoming love; indignation swelling into political activism.
Notes: Passion is often born from the seed of an emotion, given depth, repetition, or focus.
Dynamical Mode 6: Passion → Emotion
Definition: The dissolution of passion back into lighter feelings.
Examples: The cooling of romantic intensity into affection; artistic obsession settling into quiet enjoyment.
Notes: What once burned as fire subsides into sparks of feeling, still alive but less consuming.
Dynamical Mode 7: Between emotion and passion
Definition: An intermediate zone where feeling hovers on the edge of intensity.
Examples: A performer on stage whose nerves balance between mild excitement and passionate immersion.
Notes: This liminal zone is often the most fertile, where emotion strains toward passion without fully igniting.
Dynamical Mode 8: Neither emotion nor passion
Definition: A state of affective neutrality, absence, or suppression.
Examples: Emotional numbness after trauma; meditative equanimity beyond feeling.
Notes: The psyche rests without the play of moods or the flame of intensity.
Dynamical Mode 9: Beyond emotion and passion
Definition: A transfigured state in which both emotion and passion are surpassed.
Examples: Mystical union described in spiritual traditions; a philosopher’s state of serene clarity untouched by affect.
Notes: Beyond both flicker and flame lies a different ground of being — one not driven by affect at all.

motion~rest
TSS: “Only motion, only rest, either motion or rest, both motion and rest, motion changing to rest, rest changing to motion, between motion and rest, neither motion nor rest, beyond motion and rest…”
Fluxor Metastabilian’s Synopsis: “The squiggle motion~rest captures the pulse of existence as activity and stillness. Motion brings flow, change, and transformation; rest grants pause, stability, and renewal. Their interplay underlies rhythms of body, mind, and cosmos.”
Dynamical Mode 1: Only motion
Definition: A state of unceasing activity, flow without pause.
Examples: A rushing river; ceaseless thought; relentless social or technological change.
Notes: Pure motion can become turbulence — directionless, unanchored, exhausting.
Dynamical Mode 2: Only rest
Definition: A state of complete stillness and stability, absence of activity.
Examples: A mountain unmoved; deep dreamless sleep; the silence of meditation.
Notes: Pure rest can bring peace but also stagnation if isolated from movement.
Dynamical Mode 3: Either motion or rest
Definition: Alternation between activity and stillness, but not at the same time.
Examples: Waking life and nightly sleep; work and vacation; breathing in and holding still.
Notes: The organism cycles between expenditure and recovery, one giving way to the other.
Dynamical Mode 4: Both motion and rest
Definition: Simultaneous presence of activity within stillness or stillness within activity.
Examples: The poised dancer ready to leap; the meditative walk; quantum fluctuations at rest.
Notes: Motion and rest interpenetrate — stillness hums with motion, motion carries stillness.
Dynamical Mode 5: Motion → Rest
Definition: Activity subsides into stillness.
Examples: A storm calming; a runner finishing a race; thoughts settling into sleep.
Notes: Rest restores balance, allowing motion to be renewed.
Dynamical Mode 6: Rest → Motion
Definition: Stillness gives rise to activity.
Examples: Seeds stirring after dormancy; awakening from sleep; silence birthing music.
Notes: Motion emerges naturally from rest, carrying its gathered potential into action.
Dynamical Mode 7: Between motion and rest
Definition: A threshold where stillness and activity are indistinguishable.
Examples: The breath paused at its turning point; twilight between day’s movement and night’s rest.
Notes: This liminal zone is alive with tension, a poised readiness.
Dynamical Mode 8: Neither motion nor rest
Definition: A suspension outside both activity and stillness.
Examples: A void of inactivity before creation; paralysis of indecision; pure potential not yet moving or settled.
Notes: Neither flowing nor still — existence hovers unmanifest.
Dynamical Mode 9: Beyond motion and rest
Definition: A transfigured state where the very distinction dissolves.
Examples: Cosmic equilibrium where motion and stillness are one; mystical experience of timelessness.
Notes: Beyond both activity and stillness lies the ground of being — neither moving nor resting, yet containing both.

TSS: “Only chaos, only order, either chaos or order, both chaos and order, chaos changing to order, order changing to chaos, between chaos and order, neither chaos nor order, beyond chaos and order…”
TSS: “Only order, only chaos, either order or chaos, both order and chaos, order changing to chaos, chaos changing to order, between order and chaos, neither order nor chaos, beyond order and chaos…”
Fluxor Metastabilian’s Synopsis: “The squiggle order~chaos embodies one of the deepest complementarities of existence. Order provides stability, structure, and predictability. Chaos brings turbulence, unpredictability, and the seed of novelty. Their dance shapes the dynamics of life, nature, and thought itself.”
Dynamical Mode 1: Only order
Definition: A state of pure stability, structure, and predictability. The system is entirely regular, leaving no room for disruption.
Examples: A crystal lattice; a strictly regulated hierarchy; ritual repeated without deviation.
Notes: Though secure, pure order can be rigid, brittle, and unable to adapt when conditions change.
Dynamical Mode 2: Only chaos
Definition: A state of complete turbulence, unpredictability, and flux. Structures dissolve in constant change.
Examples: A stormy sea; social collapse; improvisation without any frame or ground.
Notes: Chaos undermines coherence, but also contains the possibility of transformation and creation.
Dynamical Mode 3: Either order or chaos
Definition: The system alternates between ordered stability and chaotic disruption, but never both at once.
Examples: A political regime swinging between authoritarian control and anarchic unrest.
Notes: This is exclusivity — one pole dominates, and the other is absent.
Dynamical Mode 4: Both order and chaos
Definition: Ordered structures and chaotic turbulence coexist in the same system.
Examples: A living organism maintaining structured physiology while adapting to unpredictable environments.
Notes: Order and chaos interpenetrate, producing complexity and resilience.
Dynamical Mode 5: Order → Chaos
Definition: Order unravels into chaos as structures collapse or dissolve.
Examples: A financial system crashing into crisis; a carefully planned project falling apart.
Notes: The breakdown can be sudden and cascading, exposing hidden fragilities.
Dynamical Mode 6: Chaos → Order
Definition: Chaos reorganizes into structure; turbulence crystallizes into new stability.
Examples: A flock of birds shifting from scattered flight into synchrony; cosmic dust forming stars.
Notes: This is emergence — novelty and organization arising from disorder.
Dynamical Mode 7: Between order and chaos
Definition: A liminal zone where order and chaos intermingle dynamically.
Examples: The “edge of chaos” in complex systems, where adaptation and creativity thrive.
Notes: This is a generative state — balanced tension between rigidity and turbulence.
Dynamical Mode 8: Neither order nor chaos
Definition: A state outside the play of both stability and disruption.
Examples: Perfect stasis with no motion; a void without turbulence or form.
Notes: Here, there is no structure, no flow — only suspension.
Dynamical Mode 9: Beyond order and chaos
Definition: A transfigured state in which the very distinction between order and chaos dissolves.
Examples: Taoist philosophy’s recognition of unity beyond opposites; deep metaphysical insight into reality as whole.
Notes: At this level, order and chaos are not contraries but complementary aspects of a deeper ground.

life~death
TSS: “Only life, only death, either life or death, both life and death, life changing to death, death changing to life, between life and death, neither life nor death, beyond life and death…”
Fluxor Metastabilian’s Synopsis: “The squiggle life~death is the primal rhythm of existence. Life affirms growth, change, and continuity. Death brings cessation, dissolution, and return. Yet their relation is never final — life and death interpenetrate, giving rise to cycles of renewal, decay, and transformation.”
Dynamical Mode 1: Only life
Definition: A state of pure vitality, growth, and continuity. Existence is affirmed without regard for endings.
Examples: A flourishing ecosystem in spring; a newborn child; unbroken creative energy.
Notes: Life in isolation may forget its finitude, striving endlessly without reflection.
Dynamical Mode 2: Only death
Definition: A state of complete cessation and dissolution, without the pulse of vitality.
Examples: A barren desert; a withered organism; total annihilation in thought or matter.
Notes: Pure death removes all becoming, leaving only absence and silence.
Dynamical Mode 3: Either life or death
Definition: Existence alternates between vitality and cessation, never present together.
Examples: The cycle of day (life) and night (death-like stillness); cultural eras of flourishing followed by decline.
Notes: Here the poles are exclusive — one rules as the other recedes.
Dynamical Mode 4: Both life and death
Definition: Life and death coexist, bound together in every moment.
Examples: Cellular turnover where growth and decay happen simultaneously; compost giving rise to new plants.
Notes: Death feeds life, and life carries death within it. They are inseparable companions.
Dynamical Mode 5: Life → Death
Definition: The transition of vitality into cessation.
Examples: The aging process; the falling of autumn leaves; the close of a creative cycle.
Notes: Life inevitably tends toward death as a natural phase of its unfolding.
Dynamical Mode 6: Death → Life
Definition: The renewal of vitality from cessation.
Examples: Seeds sprouting after winter; cultural rebirth after collapse; resurrection myths.
Notes: Death is not final but generative, the ground from which new life emerges.
Dynamical Mode 7: Between life and death
Definition: The liminal zone where vitality and cessation blur.
Examples: Near-death experiences; twilight states between waking and sleep; mythic underworld journeys.
Notes: This in-between often births transformation, where boundaries dissolve.
Dynamical Mode 8: Neither life nor death
Definition: A suspension beyond both vitality and cessation.
Examples: Deep dreamless sleep; mystical voids; states of pure potential without manifestation.
Notes: In this suspension, neither pulse nor silence dominates — only stillness.
Dynamical Mode 9: Beyond life and death
Definition: A transfigured state where the opposition itself dissolves.
Examples: Enlightenment traditions that see birth and death as illusions; cosmic unity beyond duality.
Notes: Beyond life and death lies Being itself — the undivided ground of existence.

The Complementary Nature
“Why do we divide our world into contraries? Why do we perceive and interpret so many of life’s contraries as mutually exclusive, either/or dichotomies such as individual~collective, self~other, body~mind, nature~nurture, cooperation~competition? Throughout history, many have recognized that truth may well lie in between such polar opposites. In The Complementary Nature, Scott Kelso and David Engstrøm contend that ubiquitous contraries are complementary and propose a comprehensive, empirically based scientific theory of how the polarized world and the world in between can be reconciled. They nominate the tilde, or squiggle (~), as the symbolic punctuation for reconciled complementary pairs. Experiments show that the human brain is capable of displaying two apparently contradictory, mutually exclusive behaviors at the same time. Coordination dynamics—a mathematically expressed theory that reconciles the scientific language of “states” with the novel dynamical language of “tendencies”—attests to the complementary nature inherent in human brains and behavior. It may explain, Kelso and Engstrøm argue, why we (and nature) appear to partition things, events, and ideas into pairs. Kelso and Engstrøm’s account is not just metaphorical; the reconciliations they describe are grounded in the principles and mathematical language of the theory of coordination dynamics. The Complementary Nature provides a clear-cut methodology for this evolving theory of brain and behavior that can also be applied to areas and developments outside the neurosciences, hence aiding reconciliations within and between disparate fields.”

Dynamical Mode 1: Only life
Definition: A state of pure vitality, growth, and continuity. Existence is affirmed without regard for endings.
Examples: A flourishing ecosystem in spring; a newborn child; unbroken creative energy.
Notes: Life in isolation may forget its finitude, striving endlessly without reflection.
Dynamical Mode 2: Only death
Definition: A state of complete cessation and dissolution, without the pulse of vitality.
Examples: A barren desert; a withered organism; total annihilation in thought or matter.
Notes: Pure death removes all becoming, leaving only absence and silence.
Dynamical Mode 3: Either life or death
Definition: Existence alternates between vitality and cessation, never present together.
Examples: The cycle of day (life) and night (death-like stillness); cultural eras of flourishing followed by decline.
Notes: Here the poles are exclusive — one rules as the other recedes.
Dynamical Mode 4: Both life and death
Definition: Life and death coexist, bound together in every moment.
Examples: Cellular turnover where growth and decay happen simultaneously; compost giving rise to new plants.
Notes: Death feeds life, and life carries death within it. They are inseparable companions.
Dynamical Mode 5: Life → Death
Definition: The transition of vitality into cessation.
Examples: The aging process; the falling of autumn leaves; the close of a creative cycle.
Notes: Life inevitably tends toward death as a natural phase of its unfolding.
Dynamical Mode 6: Death → Life
Definition: The renewal of vitality from cessation.
Examples: Seeds sprouting after winter; cultural rebirth after collapse; resurrection myths.
Notes: Death is not final but generative, the ground from which new life emerges.
Dynamical Mode 7: Between life and death
Definition: The liminal zone where vitality and cessation blur.
Examples: Near-death experiences; twilight states between waking and sleep; mythic underworld journeys.
Notes: This in-between often births transformation, where boundaries dissolve.
Dynamical Mode 8: Neither life nor death
Definition: A suspension beyond both vitality and cessation.
Examples: Deep dreamless sleep; mystical voids; states of pure potential without manifestation.
Notes: In this suspension, neither pulse nor silence dominates — only stillness.
Dynamical Mode 9: Beyond life and death
Definition: A transfigured state where the opposition itself dissolves.
Examples: Enlightenment traditions that see birth and death as illusions; cosmic unity beyond duality.
Notes: Beyond life and death lies Being itself — the undivided ground of existence.
