still wrestling that wicked problem:
bridging internal ⤑ external.
microcosm ⤑ macrocosm.
(*and for sanity’s sake, let's say ⤑ = ⇌ = 🔄 = we're all doing our best)
grand mission: coaxial existence (alignment) back towards some semblance of order and simplicity
my operating theory:
make sense of your mind 🔄
the unfolding* of internal patterns,
(and with significant effort or perhaps a miracle)
find a little orded enfolded* in the world..
- unfolding: outward flow, revealing
- enfolding: inward flow, containing
it’s the old "squaring of the circle”,
our double diamond at play:
- understand unified consciousness (◎ circle/fluidity) ⤑
- discern root forces behind tensions (Ⅹ square/structure)
from inner alignment of thoughts ⤑ outer, tangible actions.
in design: concept/strategy (◎) ⤑ reality/implementation (Ⅹ)
in life: internal alignment w/ purpose, truth (◎) ⤑ with external actions (Ⅹ)
in a pyramid: a square base born from messy crossroads (Ⅹ) ⤑ rising to a single apex of unity, of value (◎)
core insight:
for energy to actually flow ⇌
both sides of the cosmic equation need to give way to each other.
a reluctant handshake, at least
over and over..

shaman wisdom
- diligent study
- orientation: self ⤑ society/culture/system
- portal through time
co-axial (concentric)
coming back to this wicked problem:
bridging self ⤑ society
internal ⤑ external
microcosm ⤑ macrocosm
(*pls note: for simplicity, ⤑ = 🔄)
as a starting point for “counter-entropy-ing”..
aka. synchronization, syntropy
aka. return to ORDER and simplicity!
dwelling in between these (mirror) parallels :
make sense of your mind ⤑ thus find order in the world
I’m finally understanding the enfolded and unfolding (simplex) nature of reality.
- Enfolding: Surrounding or containing, inward movement/flow
- Unfolding: Revealing or exposing, outward movement/flow
the metaphor of “squaring of the circle” ⤑ the process of the doule diamond
in other words..
1. understanding the unified self/collective consciousness (circle/unity/fluidity)
⤑ 2. helps discern root forces behind tensions Ⅹ (square/structure/stability)
in design:
1: concept/strategy ⤑ 2: reality/implementation
in the long run: self ⤑ society
1: ALIGN internal thoughts with ⤑ 2. our external actions
in the model space of a pyramid:
- the square base (formed by crossroads/tensions; creating 4 quads and area) with intersection point in the middle
- the apex drawn up from the intersection point (single point/unity; forming volume of the pyramid/ie. magnitude or value)
INSIGHT: for energy to keep flow, we must satisfy the equation on both sides so 1. gives way to 2.; gives way to 🔄 vice versa)
