Nature in a Corner:
“The synergetic coordinate of nature and its hierarchy of ascending or descending components provides human mind with a means of resolving problems by bringing nature into a corner–a four dimensional corner of the four-dimensional planes of the tetrahedron. Only with the four-dimensional convergence and divergence of synergetics can the human mind resolve comprehension by minimum limit corners. The minimum polygon is a triangle; the minimum polyhedron is a tetrahedron: both of their structural behaviors are unique. Because humans think only in terms of parallel and rectilinear coordination, they tend to hold to the parallel conditions of their lives, seek to maintain the status quo, and fail despite birth and death and organic and biological manifests, to be able to take advantage of the cornerability and the positional fix provided by the four-dimensional synergetic convergent-divergent coordination.”
