From Shelley Roy - How Life Maintains Itself

How life maintains itself: Chaos and fractals in human physiology by Drs. L.E. Pihiajmaa-Glimmerveen http://www.glimmerveen.nl/LE/chaos.html is a wonderful article that is filled with PCT ideas! One of my favorite parts is when they say “We can even suppose that chaos in the functioning of our body means that all is going well, but that tight regularity means not all is well…” I found this very interesting as we often think in PCT that we want zero error, which we all know is not possible. This article however supports the idea that our system is beautifully designed to be in a constant state of shifting… where awareness follows error. For me knowing that no two instances will ever be identical just like no two snowflakes are identical is and exciting prospect.
