The Four Aspects are: (1) The Squiggle Sense, abbreviated TSS (2) The Complementary Nature, abbreviated TCN, (3) Complementary Pairs, abbreviated CP, and are also called squiggles (4) Coordination Dynamics, abbreviated CD. Take a look at the picture,  a tetrahedran with the four aspects...

LECTURE ABSTRACT – by J. A. Scott Kelso This lecture comes in three “movements” and arises out of a new book (Kelso, J. A. S. & D. A. Engstrom, The Complementary Nature, (2006 MIT Press). The first movement explores the central role of ubiquitous “contrarieties” in the history of ideas (both in philosophy and science). We refer to all such contrarieties as “complementary pairs”...

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...
