Feedback Loop and Symbiosis

I miss my garden. My mind goes there with loving thoughts. We have a symbiotic relationship. I will go there soon.

I talk to some of my siblings once a year. I talk to other family and friends more frequently. Relationships are feedback loops with orbital patterns that nurture holding me and keeping me buoyant/happy in space and time.

Sun/Earth, Earth/Moon are symbiotic. Constellations and galaxies hold symbiotic relationships through feedback loops that create rhythmic momentum sustaining equilibrium.

Motion of e-motion marks time through the rhythm of symbiotic relationship.


Symbiotic definition:

•symbiosis - the relation between two different species of organisms that are interdependent; each gains benefits from the other


A symbiotic relationship is a relationship between two entities which is mutually beneficial for the participants of the relationship. Thus there is a positive-sum gain from cooperation. This is a term commonly used in biology to explain the relationship between two entities that need each other to survive and prosper. The bumblebee and the flower would be an example. The bumble bee extracts the flower's pollen for protein and its nectar for energy. The bumblebee, while collecting these sources, inadvertently brushes pollen from one flower to another to ensure the flower's reproduction process begins. The bumblebee needs the flower to survive, the flower needs the bumblebee to survive. These are positive sum relationships. Other relationships in biology, especially with respect to the food chain, are not so forgiving, being a zero sum relationship, where one player clearly benefits from the other (typically consumes the other). In this type of relationship, it is still essential that both players (as species not individuals) survive, or the dominant player will lose its food supply, and therefore die. If the foxes kill all the chickens, the foxes die as they lose their source of survival. If the predator kills all its prey, the predator will die.
