The Local/Closed System and the universal/open system are always interrelated. Local systems are nodes within the open system general process; standing waves in the larger system. The boundaries of such systems are determined by the sites where the phase space inverts: at that locus the plus and minus phase component are in dynamic balance (this is where the nilpotent operator is defined). These relationships are always dual. What is invariant and static for the closed system, is variant and dynamic at the level of the processes and principles that maintain this coherence of state. I is this principle that is the basis of health and healing: the state dynamics that maintain the stability of the system need to correlate with, and compensate, the changes of the context of the system. All that is absolute is therefore relative, and all that is invariant is variant always. But this can only be ascertained by seeing the system as part of its context, i.e. the closed system as part of the open system. In the study of living beings the duality of these two aspects is fundamental. The material system states are the results of incursions and hyper-incursions of stable system dynamics, which are based on an unstable yet very attuned changes of dynamic system states. This paper is relevant not only for understanding the state dynamics of our material body but also the dynamic states of our information body, our psyche. Realising Reality is a very precise term for the mechanism at play.
