Micro Patterns
Think about how a single raindrop contains the same patterns as an ocean, or how a moment of decision reflects life's larger choices. Micro patterns are the smallest observable units of the three-body structure - not because they're simple, but because they're immediate. Let's explore how to recognize and work with them.
Individual Thoughts/Actions
Notice the three-body pattern in immediate experience:
A clear thought (Known)
Its possible implications (Knowable)
Its unexplored potential (Unknown)
Watch this work in:
How ideas evolve
When decisions form
As actions unfold
While attention moves
Immediate Interactions
See the pattern in moment-to-moment engagement:
Current exchange (Known)
Possible responses (Knowable)
Unexpected potential (Unknown)
Experience this in:
Each word as you speak
Every gesture you make
Any response you give
All choices you face
Local Effects
Observe immediate consequences:
Direct results (Known)
Potential impacts (Knowable)
Unforeseen possibilities (Unknown)
Notice this in:
How movement creates change
When attention affects experience
As choices have consequences
While patterns propagate
Practical Application
Try this exercise:
Pick any immediate experience:
A single breath
One movement
A specific thought
A particular choice
Notice its structure:
What's directly present?
What's potentially available?
What remains unknown?
Watch how it:
Develops
Influences
Connects
Evolves
Working With Micro Patterns
Remember:
Small doesn't mean simple
Each moment is complete
Patterns reflect at all scales
Detail contains depth
Immediate is intimate
The goal isn't to analyze micro patterns but to recognize their natural expression while appreciating how they reflect and participate in larger patterns.
Key Recognition Points
Notice how micro patterns:
Form naturally
Connect easily
Influence subtly
Change quickly
Reflect wholly
Practical Integration
In any immediate experience:
Feel its completeness
Notice its connections
Allow its movement
Trust its intelligence
