My theory of everything is that synchronization is centripetal, while harmonization is centrifugal.
So we have nodes and networks, organisms and ecosystems, particles and fields.
One insight leading to this conclusion is that our perspective of time is backwards. As mobile organisms, our experience is a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, so we view time as the present moving past to future, but the reality is that change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.
There is no dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.
Energy is conserved, because it is the present, creating time, as well as temperature, pressure, color and sound. Time is frequency, events are amplitude.
As such, energy goes past to future, while the patterns generated go future to past. Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall.
As consciousness goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts giving it form go future to past. Though it is the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems processing the energy, feeding the flame, while the central nervous system sorts the forms/information. Signals from the noise.
Consequently the tendency to think in terms of order and chaos, rather than energy and form.
As energy tends to dissipate, while form tends to equalize, one radiates toward infinity, while the other settles back to equilibrium. Thus galaxies, as energy radiates out, while form coalesces in.
Synchronization and harmonization.
And the resulting thermodynamic feedback loops.
