This discontinuity in three-space accounts for nonlocal and atemporal phenomena. SELFs are the fundamental elements of holistic systems. This property is commensurate with the complexity of the SELF and of any physical system that might be associated with it. State-conformance is rudimentary to human perception, cognition, and emotion. State-conformance is also essential to quantum entanglement.
Coherency is expressed as SELFs cohering with one another in spacetime.
This is the basis of atemporality and nonlocality. Enformy creates new SELFs by cohering subsets of existing SELFs in spacetime. This discontinuity accounts for phenomena that appear nonlocal and atemporal in three-space. Implications of the theory of enformed systems are based on the fundamental properties and behaviors of SELFs operating at many levels of organization. Essential to these properties is enformy, without which holistic systems could not be created or sustained.
