Tony next initiated a series of models drawn from classical physics. The first of these was drawn from thermodynamics and involved its second law – the law of entropy which states that closed systems move towards increasing disorder. We would take advantage of the connection between entropy and disorder, which links entropy to complexity – the higher the entropy, the greater the complexity and vice versa. We would apply the relevant mathematical model to the vicissitudes of our five-dimensional communicative vehicles and see what emerged.
The Plan of Study
For each patient and therapist, and over the course of each session, Tony would define mathematically the progression of the complexity of the sequence of the combined ...
