COSMI AGENCY X HUMAN AGENCY

Every break in the grand symmetries of the cosmos manifests intention. At each break,
there is a change of state (movement) and a direction (selection process leading to an
end state). This intentionality is an attraction for and movement to a stable pointer
state (“attractor”). In the case of convergent evolution, we see specific multiple
evolutionary lines developing common physiological features, such as eyes, wings or
fins. As each line seeks to respond to similar environmental opportunities and
challenges through mutation and selection, they are attracted to similar pointer state.
At the component level of a system, the individual units follow simple behavioral rules
as they respond to the environmental pressures and constraints within the system.
Their collective behavior drives the search process for end states that satisfy the
systemic intention, those states to which the system is attracted. This process is
oriented towards a goal, but the goal is aspirational, not prescriptive. Galaxies emerge
in a cosmic gravitational dance - each unit of mass influencing the others as they
collectively follow an elaborate pathway to stable galactic structures. The goal is not to
create spiral or other specific shapes but to minimize local entropy. The system
searches through available configurations, constrained by mathematical laws and prior
history, attracted to one that achieves that goal.
