An individual who remains in the fission-like form of the creative process is quite the opposite. Their creative work may become exceptionally skilled but cease to be relevant to the collective urge. They become stale and reified. Together these two aspects of creativity produce endless yet sustainable variety. Together they behave like a strange attractor cavorting through endless possibilities of change.
Attractors exist in a mathematical construct called phase space.
Phase space provides a way of turning numbers into pictures and accounting for all the dimensions of the system. It is a mathematical metaphor illuminating the processes of the systems with which we interact and of which we are a part. I have used repellors as the center point in the system modeled above because information markers and psychic energy enter the system in abundance through the unconscious. The cyclic attractors are points toward which these unconscious materials and, towards which materials from the undifferentiated consciousness flow. In this dynamical system these trajectories create an endlessly changing pattern.
