The energy which dynamizes the complex system has a bipolar function: it activates the potential “life” in matter and the form-space of the material, structural system; however it is also a “function” of matter when, in its relationship to the “time” parameter, it acquires cycles and rhythms. The functional alterations occurring in “time” cause changes which manifest themselves as pathologies of the organism.

This dialectic dualism is of fundamental importance in the examination of the energetic circulation at the pulses, both where the dynamic characteristics reveal themselves to be in the norm, as in the case that chaotic changes alter the phenomenological harmony of the physiological rhythms. The understanding of the energetic variations is indispensable for the planning of an appropriate therapeutic program.

The energetic circulation is a regulatory system operating at various levels, either superficial or deep. It consists of a permanentdynamic continuum in a four-dimensional reality = three spatial dimensions and one temporal dimension= internal and external rhythms.

CTM represents a logical and systematic unicum equipped with a syncretic communications system which constitutes its working code. It is the science of synthesis in communications which, together with its original roots in the actual laws of physics, also presents philosophical, cybernetic and esoteric aspects.

The biological development of ontogenesis, the special organization of a complex biological system, is based on the activity of organogenesis which guarantees, simultaneously, both order and irregularity (non-specular symmetrical structures; subdivisions and ramifications which are never totally geometric, etc.).

Growth, progressive and irreversible, is due to self-regulation. The regulation of the system of differentiation favours selection; with its morphology the complex biological system is completed. Not even during its formation is the linear energetic dynamic present, as it is a non-reproducible system: hence the biological system is a chaotic system.

The biological growth processes proceed in an unaltered manner and manifest fractal dimensions (blood vessel ramifications, neural networks, respiratory tree, etc.). The equilibrium is obtained when the linear dynamics are completed with the chaotic dynamics, which provide for the inclusion of the fractal oscillations. The inclusion of the fractal dynamics concludes the dynamic forces necessary to give life to the chaotic complex system which is the “individual”.

In complex dynamic biological systems, with evolution in the course of time, the chaotic dynamic appears through changes in temporal rhythms, and is largely modulated by circadian rhythms, which act through the alternation of daily metabolic activities. Every system and subsystem with a temporal evolution partakes in the energetic circulation activity.During the examination of the energetic circulation at the pulses chaotic changes in temporal rhythms appear both in the blood circulation as in the EC.

This biological activity represents a cyclic and rhythmic unicum which, in the complex system’s dynamics, is a necessary prerequisite for the maintenance of life.

The biological rhythms have a genetic origin and develop during the embryonic life stage. Therefore the alternation in rhythmic phenomena develops inside the phenomenology of nature, synchronized with cyclical oscillations in the opposite and complementary changes in the energetic dynamics. The possibility of regression?

The EC is correlated with the environment’s internal and external rhythms. Changes in the biological rhythms become evident through chaotic dynamic aspects; the opportunity to recognise such chaotic changes can present itself before the moment in which pathological symptoms actually become manifest.

CTM offers the opportunity of penetrating into the ways of nature, with the aim of adapting to nature's laws rather than subduing and dominating them.

“Swim with the current, not against”. “Know the currents of nature, in order to adapt to them”. Based on the cycles and successive changes of “state” characteristic of new relationships with the environment, everything that exists is dynamic, or rather in perpetual movement, change and evolution; while at the same time the preservation of the system's structure is guaranteed. The “state” of a metabolic system with respect to the environment, or rather the neurophysiological process which is carried out, serves to compensate the perturbations provoked by chaotic environmental dynamics; theactivation of a fractal dynamic, allows for the metabolic system to prevent that the continuous alterations “in the course of time” provoke structural changes.

The “behaviour” of chaotic fractal dynamics exposes an alteration in the system with mutations in temporal rhythms, perceptible through the examination of EC at the pulses. Thereby to be followed by an effective diagnosis and therapeutic program in order to bring back a linear equilibrium to chaotic rhythms.

Every living organism can be viewed as a biological clock, in that a “rhythm”exists within its structure: energy and rhythm together correspond to the “time” parameter.

All “biological clocks” possess “internal rhythms” associated with the energetic dynamics. Thanks to which an organism’s activities and functions are regulated and its internal and external biorhythms become synchronized.

As a function of the complex “time” parameter, the rhythms provide an order, a sense of measure in relation to the external events .

Linear “biological time” therefore represents rhythm and order.

Created by mutations which occur in the dynamics of “becoming”, variations in rhythms result in a passage to chaotic states, which are also in constant evolution.

Rhythmic variations and transformations in energetic dynamics over the course of time are manifestations of differentiated forms of energy.

An example of these differentiated aspects can be observed through the variations in the seasonal rhythms.Due to the influence of the logic of correspondences, these changes influence light, colors, emotional states and psycho-physical and mental stability. Seasonal energy alters the physiology of the biological rhythm, with circadian and ultra-circadian (mind – body)variations.

In a chaotic dynamic, which anticipates mutations in energetic dynamics, time fractions manifest themselves. These “fractals” are continuous and complex oscillations, or spatial-temporal variations which can intervene and modify normal rhythmic states. The complexity of the system does not anticipate automatic transformation mechanisms, hence the oscillations ensure the biological regulation, modulation and stabilisation of the system.

“Unforeseen chaotic events” have the dual role of transferring a causal linear dynamic into accidental chaotic dynamic and, at the same time, introducing the into the complex of metabolic systems and subsystems. The circadian rhythm in energetic circulation can be controlled, during the examination at the pulses, through its linear and chaotic dynamics.

The fractal alterations, more or less rhythmic in character, which intervene by modifying the normal rhythm, do not result from a disequilibrium between control systems.

Alongside the normal biological rhythms operate “biological oscillators” which represent a “hidden order”, which helps to coordinate, synchronize, stabilise the temporal evolution and the correct functioning of the various organs and systems. It is a“secret order”, in the time dominion, which allows for the modulation of the energetic dynamics.

Oscillations in energetic rhythms can be normal: for example homeostasis, arterial pressure, heartbeats, respiratory rhythms, etc.

When, in the dynamics of the complex system, along with these normal oscillations there also enter into play alterations in activity “in the course of time”, these movements reveal chaotic characteristics, observable through the examination at the pulses as rhythm mutations in EC. They represent “thresholds” from which areobserved a transformation in the quality and/or the quantity of rhythm of the energetic circulation at the pulses.

An “unpredictable chaotic event” gives rise to a “complex causality”, which assumes the role of transforming the “unpredicted”: chaos.

The fractal fluctuations, variations in rhythm, can be tied to changes in states of emotion, mood, sentiment, and passion.They operate in the domains of rhythm and timeand not in the space dominion, hence the “fractal dimension” ensures the flexibility of chaotic systems and their control over the complexity and the “indeterminacy” of those systems which reveal a dynamic of chaotic movements.

During the examination of the energetic circulation at the pulses (the point of passage ofthe energetic flow) is prevailingly observed the circadian rhythm, which manifests differentiated qualities based on age, gender, individual characteristics and can be controlled through its linear or chaotic dynamics. The examination of the transformational movements of the EC at the pulses allows for the development of a concrete diagnosis and therapeutic plan, with which it will be possible to return the equilibrium to a linear dynamic through the alteration of the chaotic dynamics.

The consequences to linear dynamics of the establishment of a chaotic event are well described in the Nei Tching (#512):

A great rule of medicine lies in focusing attention on everything which differs from normal behaviour. Taking note of this and of the opposite, one can identify the illness and develop a complete diagnosis, which must even take into consideration the individual state.

The affective conditions determine “functional” and organic alterations, with modifications to the mental structure.

The therapist is requested to develop a deterministic program of control and regulation of the energetic dynamics of the metabolic systems or in their sectors, with the scope of reintegrating in their activities the temporal rhythm and the energetic equilibrium necessary to the homeostasis of the complex system.

The control of the evolutional system is necessary in order to bring the process underway back into the programmed dynamic: thus acting “momentarily” on the “current” state. In CTM does not anticipate the treatment of illnesses or application of atemporal universal principles nor results beyond precise limits, based on precisely identified and targeted goals.

The chaotic dynamic can evolve with or without periodic fluctuations, given that such alterations can interest only one of the various biological systems (for example the chemical processes), or any one of the daily alterations (e.g. the activity-rest rhythms, of the electroenphalographic waves etc.)

Examples of chaotic events are the stressors: stimuli with biophysical characteristics which are capable of reaching the “individual's stress threshold”, they activate the systems ofself-regulation, self-adaptation, self-organization.
