Systems with the most resilience or range of behaviour options tend to be the ones that endure. The one important caveat here being that these will always remain tendencies and propensities, there are no 'absolute guarantees' as far as some final performance. Specific encounters will skew successes, with these situations being typically viewed as being the result of 'real environmental pressures'. Specific outcomes will indeed be 'attractor basins' - loose gaussian clouds of process - whole, identifiable, but with nebulosity and processional freedoms at any moment’ James N Rose Philosopher of Complexity

“Dense-Work” There are any number of examples of the implicate order in our experience of consciousness. Any one word has behind it a whole range of meaning enfolded in thought. Consciousness is unfolded in each individual. Clearly, it's shared between people as they look at one object and verify that it's the same. So any high level of consciousness is a social process. There may be some level of sensorimotor perception that is purely individual, but any abstract level depends on language, which is social. The word, which is outside, evokes the meaning, which is inside each person. Meaning is the bridge between consciousness and matter. Any given array of matter has for any particular mind a significance. The other side of this is the relationship in which meaning is immediately effective in matter. Suppose you see a shadow on a dark night. If it means "assailant," your adrenaline flows, your heart beats faster, blood pressure rises, and muscles tense. The body and all your thoughts are affected; everything about you has changed. If you see that it's only a shadow, there's an abrupt change again. That is an example of the implicate order: Meaning enfolds the whole world into me, and vice versa-that enfolded meaning is unfolded as action, through my body and then through the world. The word hormone means "messenger," that is, a substance carrying some meaning. Neurotransmitters carry meaning, and that meaning profoundly affects the immune system. This understanding could be the beginning of a different attitude to mind-and to life.
