All development is fundamentally the conversion of exclusivity structures to basic structures, which is another way of saying that one still possesses the function but is not exclusively identified with it.

Similarly, the morphogenetic fields of crystals restrict the large number of possible arrangements which would be permitted by the probability structures of their constituent molecules.

Macroscopic structures become the environment for microscopic structures and influence their evolution in decisive ways, or make it possible at all.

Vice versa, the evolution of microscopic structures becomes a decisive factor in the formation and evolution of macroscopic structures.

Chaotic attractors are complex and subtly ordered structures that constrain the behavior of seemingly random and unpredictable systems.

I would put it, cultural holons, structures or patterns from within, not just without.

My claim is that the structures of human consciousness that I will be presenting in the rest of this volume are in fact gender neutral, that there is no fundamental gender bias in the deep structures themselves.
