“In coordination dynamics, the real-life coordination of neurons in the brain and the real-life coordinated actions of animals are cut, fundamentally, from the same dynamic cloth. Integrity is in turn preserved because it is never threatened. Psychophysical unity is undergirded at all levels by coordination dynamics.” -Maxine Sheets-Johnstone (1930– )

The DOC Metastabilian

Ph.D. Neuropharmacology. scientist~artist, professional musician, writer and muse. Co-founder with Dražen Pavlović of The Metastabilian Movement, an artistic~scientific exploration of the creative potential of ‘the squiggle sense’ of the complementary nature. Co-author with J. A. Scott Kelso of “The Complementary Nature” (MIT Press, 2006). Active Professional Entertainer, Engstrøm is Guitarist Singer-Songwriter, who has played over 2500 shows over the last three decades in 11 countries, predominantly in Scandinavia.

MOVEMENT
THE METASTABILIAN MOVEMENT

The Metastabilian Movement

(TMM) is a name for all possible ‘pioneering trajectories’ of The Squiggle Sense. The Squiggle Sense is a ‘sixth sense’ of The Complementary Nature, which is thought to emerge as a function of metastable brain~mind Coordination Dynamics, hence the term “Metastabilian”. Metastabilian artists seek to engage their squiggle sense as a foundation of their artistic process. Thus, the vision, works, methods and criticism of TMM as an Art Movement are both inspired and mitigated by the “metastable mode” of brain~mind coordination dynamics...

THE SQUIGGLE SENSE

The Squiggle Sense

(TSS) "Sixth Sense” of The Complementary Nature, to the dynamic ‘yin~yang’ dance of inextricable complementary aspects. It is a modality present in every human nervous system. Ironically, most remain unaware, are ‘blind’ to its existence and crucial role it plays in their daily lives. The ‘Metastabilians’ seek to awaken and engage their Squiggle Sense to wield it in their life pursuits in any field, at any level of interest. Metastable brain~mind perception~action. The Squiggle Sense is a modality of ‘relative phase’—produced by and sensitive to the Coordination Dynamics. The Complementary Nature, the inextricability, complementarity of complementary pairs, the "coordinated dance" of complementary aspects. Once intentionally engaged, awareness of such inextricable dynamic complementarity is the essence of “Eureka moments”. A person that has awakened and engages their squiggle sense to be inspired by, explore, appreciate and intentionally engage the complementary nature of themselves and their world we call Metastabilian."
