The life of the explorer is made of cycles of conjecture and refutation, bringing successes, failures, and new questions. A master explorer has learned to live a life dense with magic and is likely to live in resonance. An apprentice explorer knows that resonance quest is a craft to be learned and is determined to learn it. The quest of each explorer evolves a resonance image, a pattern of patterns by which new ventures can be chosen. Being yields unexpected events in variety and number.
Explorers provoke Being while seeking to avoid the fatal unexpected.
Theories are tools for provoking Being, and all theories are conjectures. Conjectures imply actions which may produce the unexpected. Severe tests of theories reveal errors before we do things that could prove fatal. Freeorder is a balance among designed and spontaneous orders conducive to quest. Such balances are found within individuals, among individuals, and in non-living systems.
