02 Of Beginning and End

This book was written to help you awaken, engage, train and wield your squiggle sense at will. Some effort is required to do this, but the potential benefits are many. The book is a collection of vignettes called squiggle frames, each providing a brief introduction to a squiggle important to and grounded in Coordination Dynamics (CD). Each squiggle frame is two pages long, a page-left and page-right. You’re reading the second one now. The left pages begin with a numbered title, a small picture with a quote beside it, and three paragraphs of text. The right pages have a circular bubble with a squiggle title and illustrations that go with the text. Under the bubble is a short section called, “The Metastabilian says:” and a list of three “Related Squiggles.” A metastabilian is someone who intentionally engages and wields their squiggle sense of the complementary nature. All human beings have the potential to be metastabilians.
