“A metastabilian is any sentient individual~collective mind~body system actively seeking to live within the metastable region of its dynamical landscape, where fixed, rigid behavioral states are automatically replaced with tendencies for individuality and collectivity that coexist simultaneously.
In this metastable mode or metastable regime of a system or being, functional information is created~destroyed. What information is functional depends upon the context~level of a system or being, and is harder~easier to comprehend. On the human psychological level, this ebb~flow, this stream of functional information of the mestable mode is surpisingly easy to comprehend: It is, or follows the same patterns of behavior, as the daily ebb~flow of our consciousness. William James called it ’stream of consciousness.’ This ebb~flow of conscious~unconscious is quite literally the on-going weaving of one’s mental life. Thought.
When a person focuses their awareness on this process, stream, dance (or whatever dynamical metaphor suits you), this construction~deconstruction of thought~interpretations, recognizes the significance, necessity and complementary nature of its own metastable tendencies, we say they are ‘using their squiggle sense’ to probe into the very nature of themselves. A humans (or any sentient individual~collective that intentionally focuses~employes their awareness in such a quest) we call
Metastabilian.
Metastabilians consider the squiggle sense paramount as a ‘gateway to enlightenment,’ because it is here where functional information thought~ideas are created~annihilated, and no fixed states exist. Fixation or ‘dwelling’ is naturally transcended, since dwelling can at best be relatively fleeting in a dynamical landscape temporarily devoid of fixed points.
The Terrestrial known also as Gotama Buddha used the related terms: impermanence and also emptiness.”
A Metastabilian is a person who is aware of and intentionally employs their squiggle sense, the awareness or sixth senseof the complementary nature, that nature is possibly manifested and certainly revealed via the dynamical dance of complementary pairs or squiggles. (to be continued)
