Pulse: The instigator that perturbs the equilibrium. The net effect, those degrees of rotation from some lower-energy steady-state or status quo, depends on the power and duration of the stressor applied. This is where cause is initiated.
Delay: Where evolution from the new perspective begins. The natural drive is to return to equilibrium, yet a new angle is an opportunity for new information. Each new perturbation and set of starting conditions provide their own possibilities. The trick is for the impressions of the new adventure last: To remember and not to lose coherence too quickly.
180ยบ pulse: Just as it sounds, a U-turn, a flip-back, through the looking glass, and the opportunity to return to where you started. Yet returning with a different take, almost as if putting a new spin on things. Perhaps a bit quicker or slower, hopefully not worse for wear, although there always seems to be some cost.
Further delays: Time to reflect. At times it’s best to keep new things coming without pause, other times a pause, or a window for reflection, is most appropriate. Here, knowing what is needed when, is the key to achieving your goals. Timing is often everything.
Acquisition: Finally, a time to collect any coherent observations.
Analyses and interpretations: The fun of patterns, connections, interactions, and relationships. And always more questions. Why is there recursion? Why is Occam’s razor the best choice, or not? How far can fractals reach? Can a brain actually explode? Do things not meant to be ever happen? And if so, what are the consequences? Is technology inevitable? Are humans? What else is out there? And how can we hold on long enough to find out?
