Martha Rogers: Science of Unitary Human Beings

Question 1

• Fundamental unit of both the living and non-living
• Provide a way to perceive people and environment as irreducible wholes
• Energy fields continuously varies in intensity, density, and extent.

Answer 1

Energy Field

Question 2

• Human field and environmental field are constantly exchanging their energy
• No boundaries or barrier that inhibit energy flow between fields.

Answer 2

Openness

Question 3

• Defined as the distinguishing characteristic of an energy field perceived as single waves.
• “Pattern is an abstraction and it gives identity to the field.”

Answer 3

Pattern

Question 4

• “Non linear domain without spatial or temporal attributes.”
• The parameters that human use in language to describe events are arbitrary
• The present is relative, there is no temporal ordering of lives.

Answer 4

Pan dimensionality

Question 5

• Postulates the way of perceiving unitary human beings

- Fundamental unit of the living system is an energy field

Answer 5

Homeodynamic Principles

Question 6

• Resonancy
• Helicy
• Integrality

Answer 6

3 Homeodynamic Principles

Question 7

• Ordered arrangement of rhythm characterizing both human field and environmental field that undergoes continuous dynamic metamorphosis in the human environmental process.

Answer 7

Resonance

Question 8

• Unpredictable, but continuous, nonlinear evolution of energy fields as evidenced by non repeating rhythmicities.
• Principle of helicy postulates an ordering of humans evolutionary emergence.

Answer 8

Helicy

Question 9

• Mutual continuous relationship of the human energy field and the environmental field.
• Changes occur by the continuous repatterning of the human and environmental by resonance waves.
• The fields are one and integrated but unique to each other.

Answer 9

Integrality

Question 10

• An irreducible, indivisible, pan dimensional (four dimensional) energy field identified by pattern and manifesting characteristics that are specific to the whole and which cannot be predicted from knowledge of the parts.
• A unified whole having its own distinctive characteristics which cannot be perceived by looking at, describing, or summarizing the parts.

Answer 10

Unitary Human Being (Person)

Question 11

• Irreducible, pan dimensional energy field identified by pattern and integral with the human field
• Field coexist and are integral
• Manifestation emerge from this field and are perceived.

Answer 11

Environment

Question 12

• An expression of the life process; they are the characteristics and behavior emerging out of the mutual, simultaneous interaction of the human and environmental fields.
• Health and illness are part of the same continuum.
• The multiple events taking place along life’s axis denote the extent to which man is achieving his maximum health potential and very in their expressions from greatest health to those conditions which are incompatible with the maintaining life process.

Answer 12

Health

Question 13

• Exists to serve people
• The direct and overriding responsibility to the society
• The safe practice of nursing depends on the nature and amount of scientific nursing knowledge the individual brings to practice… the imaginative, intellectual judgement with which such knowledge is made in serve to the man kind.

Answer 13

Nursing
