22 Of Spatial and Temporal

You are a spatial~temporal being, a squiggle dancer~dancing that lives at once in space and time. Spatial refers to that which occupies or surrounds space—often described by terms like size, position, shape, length, area, volume, geometry. It’s the ‘what’ and ‘where’ of reality. Temporal means ‘of time’, contained in words like epoch, movement, rhythm, cadence, sequence, process, event, duration. It’s when things happen and how long they last in the dynamic flow of reality. In the language of Coordination Dynamics (CD), spatial and temporal can’t be meaningfully separated. They are a squiggle—inextricable, dynamic, complementary aspects of reality. The dance of life, like information, motion and energy, lives at once in time and space!
