Welcome to my work, with others, on 'natural inclusionality' (NI), a new way of understanding the origin and evolution of all form as flowform (see also http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Natural_Inclusion )
To begin with a simple question:
What, at the very minimum, needs to be present for form to be distinguishable?
NI recognises that the wonderful, complex, changeable variety of the natural world arises from what in essence is a very simple dynamic involving two distinct but mutually inclusive presences: RECEPTIVE space and RESPONSIVE energy
Space is continuous stillness, infinite softness; Energy is continuous mobility
Space without energy would be formless everywhere. Energy without space would be dimensionless - nowhere.
Space includes energy and energy includes space. Each in the other co-creates the natural flow-form of 'place-time'
Recognition of this 'each in the otherness' as the 'organizing principle' underlying natural structure and dynamics is the point of departure of NI from abstract rationalism
