This one’s for A.P. Excellent–it’s called ‘Superconducting Convergence:’
In his book, Dialogue and the Art of Thinking Together, William Isaacs writes about how small particles shift temperament under new climate conditions:
“Physicist David Bohm once compared conversations to the field behavior of a superconductor.
“In a superconductor, electrons moving through a wire are cooled to the point where they no longer collide or create heat through resistance.
“Instead, after reaching an optimally low temperature, they begin to act like parts of a coherent whole, moving around obstacles like ballet dancers on a stage.
“Under these conditions the electrons flow with virtually no friction. They have both high intensity and high ‘intelligence’ as they naturally align themselves with an invisible pattern. Similarly, when we are in dialogue and are thinking together in a coordinated fashion, we are like the cool intensity of these fields of electrons.”
Isaacs also talks about the “architecture of the invisible.” What I think he means is this: Things that aren’t explicitly stated or even known to be floating between physical points are still very much a part of a conversation. Between sets of ears and brains exist certain wavular energy fields through which permeate a tacit, yet very real mode of communication.
Cool, huh?
Interesting. Is “wavular” your word, or Isaacs’? They do say something like 80 percent of communication is non-verbal. Perhaps that wavular level is part of that…
Thanks for the comment, Dale.
I made up the word wavular. I kinda liked the sound of it, something new.
About nonverbal stuff, this psychiatrist I know worries kids in the future won’t be able to interface well with other humans, ’cause they’re not learning to read cues in eye contact and facial expressions…
Mmm, wavular. This seems like the place where physics and faith do their dance. I LOVE this place!!! It’s … wavularicious? I’m telling you, D, Beyonce’s got nothin’ on you.
Wavy, dude.
