VI. Semicontrollability

We experience resonance with human or nonhuman entities and/or with material or nonmaterial states of affairs on condition that they be only semicontrollable, thereby moving in an interstitial space between controllability and uncontrollability. Resonance requires some, but not too much and not too little, controllability; at the same time, resonance requires some, but not too much and not too little, uncontrollability. On an existential level, we are required to cope with the fundamental tension between our daily efforts to render the world controllable and our desire to experience it as a source of resonance.
