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 symbol is dynamic. It’s symbolism is incluces both timeless and of time qualities. It expresses the hard won fact (yes, fact) that complementary pairs are dynamic; that they exhibit coordination dynamics that includes multistability, gradual and abrupt change, instability, metastability…all reflective of both stability and change.
Coordination dynamics is the scientific grounding of the squiggle. It shows how certain complementary pairs (squiggles) may arise, stabilize and transform in time. Thus, among its other messages, (~) is a symbol of real phenomena as well as their mathematical and scientific understanding. Not justmetaphor, not just an association. But actual demonstrable, observable phenomena.
We also suspect that the humanawarenessof TCN of complementary pairs or ‘squiggle sense’ is active, that this awareness is also entailed and expressed via coordination dynamics. Thus, both observer and observed appear to obey coordination dynamics, and thus coordination dynamics gives us a way to understand the observer~observing in surprising new ways.
Notice, observer and observed are dynamic, coexistent and inextricable complementary aspects, whose complementary nature can be readily expressed as observer~observed. This complementary pair or ‘squiggle’, but its defined syntax, again communicates that both observer and observed engender coordination dynamics individually and collectively speaking.
