Systems states are determined by their dynamic. System eigen-dynamics (internal to the system) are integrated with the (external) dynamics of their environment. The interference patterns between the internal and external dynamics determine transient patterns, in which the local dynamics of the system integrate and disintegrate into the context. It is these repatternings that determine the interface between the system and its context. This theme is recapitulated later in the description of disease as system disintegration, and healing as the restoration of the integrity of the system in is context, by the coincidence (constructive symference) on the inner and outer process dynamics. The phase relationships that describe the relationship between the internal and external process dynamics, thereby also specifies the relationship between the system and its context. The implied transitions in the relationship between Closed Systems and the Open System are further described in later papers. These relationship (phase) dynamics are important because they are integrated with our own being. It is through our ability to use our freedom of choice that we can moderate and modulate our internal process dynamics, and thereby navigate in phase space. This is the basis of the later described principle of creation, and ‘black hole navigation’. For healing it is important, because the pivot point of power, by which the phase relationships are altered, and the process (un)linking) is effectuated/affected operates internal in every living being. The ability to shift this, is the basis of disease and healing.
