“In some auspicious moments, we consider knowledge~wisdom as a “squiggle”, as a “complementary pair”. Such consideration allows brain~mind to imagine the myriad possible meanings~nuances to be discovered in the fleeting~perching metastable trajectories of knowledge and wisdom. Because such consideration can and does affect~influence the ongoing self-organizing~dynamical brain~mind trajectory of The Metastabilian we treat it as “functional information”.
