Relative Asymmetry Sequence:
"Observing that there is a fundamental complementarity, and that the complementations are rarely mirror images of one another, we find that the physical Universe is always locally entropic-- that is, it is always giving off energy in one way or another. Because each local system has its own orbiting, and its own frequencies and so forth, the ways in which they give them off are not synchronized with the others. Therefore, as they’re given off, they’re relatively disorderly. … And actually calculably disorderly; they’re not infinitely disorderly at all. They’re not something we might call chaos. It may look disorderly to you as you look at the turbulence of a waterfall, and the water’s going down there, But I’ve become very fascinated with the fact that I’m beginning now to understand what the different turbu- lences are. I can begin to see what the vortex is and all the interprecessional effects.
“It’s no longer looking quite as disorderly to me as it used to look. Our word ‘disorder’ is a relative matter: it gets to be relatively asymmetrical. Relative to the symmetry of equilibrium it gets to be relatively asymmetrical, and I find that it goes to a maximum asymmetry and then comes back”
