MAX PLANCK SOCIETY Press Release News C / 2005 (43) “Max Planck Researchers in Berlin show that for electrons from nitrogen molecules, the wave-particle character exists simultaneously The double-slit was voted the most beautiful experiment of all time in a 2002 poll by Physics World, published...
The Squiggle Sense of the Vitruvian Man...
From Wikipedia on The Vitruvian Man: “This image exemplifies the blend of art and science during the Renaissance and provides the perfect example of Leonardo’s keen interest in proportion. In addition, this picture represents a cornerstone of Leonardo’s attempts to relate man to nature. Encyclopaedia...
The Complementary Nature...
Overview J. A. Scott Kelso and David A. Engstrøm have written The Complementary Nature to summarize their research plan. In this book, Kelso and Engstrøm contend that ubiquitous contraries are complementary and propose a comprehensive, empirically-based scientific theory of how the polarized world...
Squigglespeak of the Day...
In Squigglespeak posts, we talk about the squiggle sign (~), and give examples of its use by ourselves and others… The Squiggle (~) Symbol: “The squiggle (~) is our symbol connecting contraries and other mutually and inextricably connected events, processes, etc. … The squiggle...
The Metastable Brain: Coordination Dynam...
by J. A. Scott Kelso A considerable amount of evidence and theory suggests that transient, short-lived phase-coupled oscillations within and between specialized areas of the brain provide a mechanism for neural integration. The idea is that these oscillations are coupled or “bound” together into...
Theoretical Foundations of Coordination ...
by Viktor Jirsa,  November 9th, 2005 Researchers in the field of Coordination Dynamics aim to identify general laws of pattern formation in human movements rather than searching for a locus of movement pattern generation. This approach is inspired by ideas borne by the theory of Dynamic Systems and...
An Overview of Coordination Dynamics...
TSS: In the following excerpts of J. A. Scott Kelso’s introduction speech to the Coordination Dynamics 2002 Meeting, we are given still another useful overview of coordination dynamics, a brief flyover of its history and central themes. Note the section heading, ‘TCN of CD and Origins of...
An Essay on Understanding the Mind...
by. J. A. Scott Kelso Several conjectures by A. S. Iberall on life and mind are used as a backdrop to sketch a theory of mental activity that respects both the contents of thought and the dynamics of thinking. The dynamics, in this case, refers fundamentally to animated, meaningfully coupled self-organizing...
Coordination Dynamics: Issues and Trends...
Coordination comes in many guises and represents one of the most striking, but least understood features of living things. Over the last 20 years or so a new foundation for understanding coordination has emerged called Coordination Dynamics. Grounded in the concepts of self-organization and the tools...
Squigglespeak of Inna Semetsky...
In Squigglespeak posts, we talk about the squiggle sign (~), and give examples of its use by ourselves and others… Inna Semetsky “I cite Kelso and Engstrom who use the sign “~” to pinpoint the relation: “In the case of human beings, complex nonlinear self-organizing systems of energy~matter...
The Coordination Dynamics Law - An Equat...
“In coordination dynamics, where apartness and togetherness coexist as a complementary pair—where a whole is a part and a part is a whole—there are no equilibria, no fixed points at all.” TCN — J. A. Scott Kelso & David A. Engstrøm “In coordination dynamics, where...
