The boundary that separates is also the interface that connects. The phase relationships in the interfacing dynamics determines the boundary characteristics. What is described at the one side as the changes of system state, is balanced by the experience of the change in environmental conditions at the other side. Both are dual. The Boundary is an equation sign, and differentiating integrative function. The boundary serves as a filter in connecting and disconnecting the interacting domains. Our body, as later papers point out, is an example of this. Social processes operate by these same principles, as they are based in individual personal dynamics. System theory helps understand how the phase relationships regulate the changes in the interactions. Later papers show that the phase states of our body are examples of the materialisation of the same. The findings of science, are also constructs, result of these process dynamics. Later papers point out that our involvement changes the way our functioning as a boundary/interface separates/connects us with/in our context, and how our realisation of reality is consequential to this.
