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

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

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
