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!”

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
