Complexity arises because every new understanding immediately establishes relations with everything that already exists in KNOWING. Each new emergent step thus enters into the entire existing relational landscape and must be understood in the light of all previous understandings.

This relational openness creates an enormous number of possible connections, contrasts and perspectives. If all of these were to appear directly as manifest experience, experience would dissolve into unlimited simultaneity without stable meaning, structure or identity.

New relations are therefore immediately reorganised through Attractor Dynamics. Attractor Dynamics functions as a fundamental organising principle in which new understandings are incorporated into the highest viable attractor available in the landscape. In this way ever larger quantities of relations are compressed into ever more comprehensive wholes.

Complexity therefore does not arise as random accumulation of information, but as a continuous growth in relational richness that is simultaneously reorganised towards higher and more stable understandings through Attractor Dynamics.
