Consider galaxies.

The energy radiates out, the structure coalesces in.

Our digestive system processes the energy driving us on, while the nervous system sorts the patterns precipitating out.

Look at any situation in the middle, from politics, to computers and examine how the energy and information interact.

Liberalism is social energies, conservatism is civil and cultural constructs.

We are in the middle, where many of the social and cultural constructs are breaking down, because they don't adequately express the energies driving them.
