Singularities: dependent upon local factors, or boundary conditions, force a stochastic understanding as combinatorial probabilities.

Complexity definitionsOntological definition: objective complexityEpistemic definition: subjective complexityComplexity Theory states that critically

interacting components self-organize to form potentially evolving structures exhibiting a hierarchy of emergent system properties.

Static Complexity (Type 1)Dynamic Complexity (Type 2)Evolving Complexity (Type 3)Self-Organizing Complexity (Type 4)

terms "life space" and "field theory”, proposed to view the social environment as a dynamic field that affected human consciousness

The Mind Force ManifestoMatter, mind, brain, body and society emerge

from the same stream in the complexity of nature: we call this energy ‘Mind Force’.Connections of genes and molecules, neurons and hormones, thinking and language, people and organizations form a continuous flow of synchronized interactions.Interactions between networks across many scales, from molecular, to biological, to cognitive and social, sustain its scaling and cascading.

The Mind Force Manifesto - 2We recognize in this hyper network, the

landscapes and fields of Mind Force.The empowerment of individuals by Mind Force comes from integrating multiple perspectives and multiple complementary disciplines: simplicity and complexity are complimentary moments of our knowledge of each other, the world, and us.

The Mind Force Manifesto - 3Resources for research would follow the

integrated path to a deeper knowledge based on multidisciplinary collaborations.Science is lauded by societies beyond the circle of experts and recognized as a naturalmean of expanding lives, when it stays within the stream of Mind Force.This flow sustains the inner strength and growth of individuals and communities

Mind Force callHere forms, here colours, here the character

of every part of the universe are concentrated to a point; and that point is so marvellous a thing ...
