Volution is a theory that explores the concept that everything that is part of life is created out of a tension between a current and potential reality that represents a vacant niche in the ecology of life. That tension, that vacuum, is what exerts a pull on the concept of a unified field, and starts a process of giving form to the impulse that emerges out of the tension, and when when looked at as a flow, can best be represented by the form of a torus.

More DescriptionVolution is a theory that explores the concept that everything that is part of life is created out of a tension between a current and potential reality that represents a vacant niche in the ecology of life. That tension, that vacuum, is what exerts a pull on the concept of a unified field, and starts a process of giving form to the impulse that emerges out of the tension, and when when looked at as a flow, can best be represented by the form of a torus. As an animated model, the torus can be seen to display an ongoing unfoldment and enfoldment, as information and consciousness combine holographically in energy and form. The core motion of a torus is spinning and pulsing, which is why the term "volution" is so apt to describe it - "1. a rolling or revolving motion. 2. a spiral turn. 3. a whorl of a spiral shell". "Volution" is also at the core of the words "evolution" and "involution". In searching for a name to describe the process behind those two dynamics, "volution" is a very apt description of that balanced tension. The volution process itself can also be seen as a breathing process, a continual pulsing of an energetic flow of information between on the one hand subtler dimensions of life that most humans do not perceive consciously, and more defined and denser dimensions of life that humans tend to be able to see with their eyes and feel with their bodies. It describes how these various states of reality interact with each other as one dynamic whole. This theory of life has been explored already through the lens of physics. Given the fundamental nature of this perspective, volution provides a way of looking at ourselves that can integrate a developmental evolutionary perspective with an understanding of how we are related to all other aspects of life, in both time and space. The ideology of volution suggests that a holographic, fractal and trans-linear perspective can successfully be applied to human and cultural development.
