Question 6

• energy is the potential for process, movement, and change.

Answer 6

Energy Field

Question 7

• the human field and the environment field are constantly exchanging energy.
  - there are no boundaries or barriers to inhibit energy flow between fields.

Answer 7

Openness

Question 8

• is defined as the distinguishing characteristic of an energy field perceived as a single wave.
  - Rogers calls it “an abstraction” that gives identity to the field.

Answer 8

Pattern

Question 9

• a nonlinear domain without spatial or temporal attributes.

Answer 9

Pandimensionality

Question 10

• the principles of homeodynamics postulate the way of perceiving unitary human beings.

Answer 10

Homeodynamic Principles

Question 11

• the intensity of change, embraces the continuous variability of the human energy field as it evolves.
  - an ordered arrangement of rhythms characterizing both human field and the environmental field that undergoes continuous dynamic metamorphosis in the human-environment process.

Answer 11

Resonancy

Question 12

• describes the unpredictable but continuous, nonlinear evolution of energy fields as evidenced by non repeating rhythmicities.
  - the life process evolves in sequential stages along a curve that has the same general shape.

   - the principle of helicy postulates an ordering of the human’s evolutionary emergence.

Answer 12

Helicy

Question 13

• encompasses the mutual, continuous relationship of the human energy field and the environment energy field.
  - change occurs by continuous repatterning of the human and environmental fields by resonance waves.

             - the fields are one and integrated but unique to each other.

Answer 13

Integrality
