Flow Dynamics





Flow
The constant exchanging of energy and information that brings renewal.

Flow Dynamics
Flow is made up of these 4 forces -

1

Control
Interpersonal systems maintain boundaries and patterns to channel & regulate energy and information.

2

Support
Interpersonal systems nurture and give energy to each other, especially young entities & those that are ailing.

3

Change Feedback
Interpersonal systems communicate with each other about needs and about how they impact each other, and then request adjustments and changes.

4

Stability Feedback
Interpersonal systems pressure each other not to change - to maintain the stability of structures and patterns against the pressure to change.
