INNA SEMETSKY – “I cite Kelso and Engstrøm who use the sign “~” to pinpoint the relation: “In the case of human beings, complex nonlinear self-organizing systems of energy~matter have managed to evolve to the point of organizing a sense of self~other” (Kelso and Engstrøm 2006: 253). Deleuze’s transformational pragmatics of self-becoming-other (a self~other relation) takes place at the limit, and the...
J. A. SCOTT KELSO – “The coordination of living things is one of the great mysteries in the science of life. Coordination is in us and all around us. It is everywhere we look, from the coordination among the genes that make us who we are and what we become, to the remarkable coordination among the nerve cells of the brain that allows us to perceive the world, to learn and to remember, to decide and to act. And...
J. A. SCOTT KELSO & 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 and the world in between can be reconciled. They nominate the squiggle (~), as the symbolic punctuation for reconciled...
CP~CD is an abbreviation for the squiggle, complementary pair ~ coordination dynamics. It communicates the reconciliation of the philosophy of complementary pairs and the science of complementary pairs, namely coordination dynamics. If one were to suggest that complementary pairs are important windows into the complementary nature, then CP~CD is a philosophy~science that actually employs those windows in the acquisition and...
Among other ways of saying it, the complementary nature is about grounding yin~yang relationships in a new principle of how the human brain works. For example, on the one hand people think the brain works as an integrated organ where information from different parts of the brain is integrated to form a representation of an object or a plan of action. On the other hand, people think of the brain as a group of segregated...
