SQUIGGLE CONCEPTS – The picture to your left is one way we visualize what we call The Four Aspects. You’re looking at a tetrahedron with four vertices, each standing for one complementary aspect, as follows: TSS = The Squiggle Sense, TCN = The Complementary Nature, CP = complementary pairs (also called squiggles), and CD = Coordination Dynamics. All of these aspects are inextricable, dynamic and complementary. Having one implies you’ve got the other three, even if their can’t easily be seen or identified. In our book, The Complementary Nature we explain the relationships of TCN, CP and CD. Since then, we have added one more aspect into the final mix, that we call, the squiggle sense.
Okay, now take a look at the figure again. It’s a tetrahedron with what we call The Four Aspects ‘TSS’, ‘TCN’, ‘CP’ and ‘CD’ written at the vertices- In the center of the tetrahedran is the squiggle sign (~). This tetrahedral view of the four aspects is helpful because it suggests that the four aspects are intimately related and organized as some kind of pattern integrity.
(The choice of tetrahedran was an arbitrary one by us. Whether there exists any more profound role of tetrahedral geometry itself, as R. Buckminster Fuller believed remains an open question.)
Mainly, this view does a good job at showing possible relationships between the aspects we require ourselves to explore.
If each of the four aspects squiggle with the remaining three, and count them up: you get six possible complementary pairs.
