Will to live - Self-realization and the serendipity of chaos helping out in semi-unfortunate circumstances

[2023/10/25]

It is not finished, but I will most certainly never finish it, because... well, I better put it on that huge pile of projects not worth the effort to work on even further...

I like the concept and idea.

I drew that in art therapy when we had to describe how our life went during the last year - and we should use a fruit to depict that.

So I started with an apple that became also a pear.

I added the intersection circles of a spindle torus:

(It is depicted in that img:)

Then my surrealizing brain went even further with that thought soup, and created an abstract heart from that apple-pear-fruit.

I also added some colorful arteria that can also be imagined as roots and/or branches.

Finishing my thought soup on paper, I ended in the green-ish and red-ish trajectory lines - which are like bifurcations of trajectories of two bouncing bouncy balls... converging towards the upper right corner.

Perhaps some people might have a lot of fun with detangling this cryptic "brain knot clot" of odd metaphor soup....

"Geistesblitz" is German and describes an Eureka-Moment. I like this German word, because it contains the word "Blitz" - which translates to "lightning bolt" or "flash". This reminds me of the Lichtenberg figures.

Lichtenberg figures are branching electric discharges with fractal properties:

On this website is a great video/gif showcasing Iichtenberg figures burned into a wood table:

For the topic of non-linear/divergent thinking I found this German website helpful and well-summarized. (Unfortunately it is only available in German.)

---

The alpha and omega in my drawing represent "point A" - the starting point of thought, and "point B" - the final thought. The branching plot between these points describes the "detours" into partially related topics to "point A/staring thought" - the core feature of divergent thinking. Often this kind of thinking appears merely incoherent.

In short, this branching plot just illustrates a non-linear train of thought, which disperses into many other detours of thought - that feed back - or loop back to the previous or main train of thought.

This is literally the behavior of a chaotic system.
