48 Of States and Tendencies
摘要
You are a complex dynamic synergy of synergies: a wondrous spatial~temporal orchestration, an exquisite combination and composition of matter and energy, a coordination of levels organized as coexistent interwoven dynamical landscapes, doing uncountable multifaceted coordinations simultaneously. So it is with humanity: 8 billion individual human beings, each trying to survive and prosper in an ever changing natural and social environment. There's so much complexity happening at once, it seems impossible to comprehend. Yet, Coordination Dynamics (CD) and your squiggle sense can help you comprehend it. Remarkably, CD's dynamical landscapes contain multiple states, transitions and coexisting tendencies, dwelling and escaping, individuals expressing themselves as autonomous entities at the same time as cooperating together. Each synergy operates in its individual dynamical landscape as well as participating in other collective dynamical landscapes. Stable states and transient tendencies occur at the same time in the same system!
