Hi guys,
Just wanna describe a scientific discipline that is pretty close to Ray's ideas... You may be interested to dig in
It's called Complex Adaptive Systems science.
It claims that our bodies and our environment are instances of Complex Adaptive (Eco)Systems. It's a pretty new multi-disciplinary science, but well-established and supported by much evidence.
CAS' components (incl. energy) are entangled i.e. interconnected, interrelated, always in flux, and highly context-dependent.
This means that in CAS there is no linear causality - they are dispositional...
In practical terms, this means that two opposing views can be true at the same time because they are true in different conditions (i.e. depending on the context of for example circumstances/environment. epi-/genetics, their interactions, etc.)
For example, a vitamin can be unfavorable for some people living in some conditions, but the same vitamin will be great for other people living in different context...
Another example, if someone has low (hypo) thyroid then fructose/honey may be a bit unfriendly to the teeth. But for someone with optimal thyroid, there will be no problem.
BTW, there is also a variant of Complexity Science dedicated to IT, it's called Residuality Theory. I guess, that @haidut may be interested
What do you guys think about it?
