Abstract
Through the aid of ever advancing technology, the analysis of complex phenomena offers us more comprehensive insights regarding the intricate inner workings of Nature’s dynamic processes. Through such digital simulations (i.e., of fluid, aero, neuro and vibratory dynamics), the operations and flow of energy are revealed as highly patterned process-structures of activity. These vivid configurations often resemble and correlate with the patterns and motifs found at different scales throughout Nature and in a myriad of cultural artifacts. As intricately braided cellular relationships, these fertile processes evolve into highly integrative systems with re-generative, shape-shifting and re-structuring capabilities. Moreover, they are robust coalitions of event-filled-processes, highly responsive and fluently encoded with information. This embodied potential of generative kinetic in-formation and related patterns have been explored and offer more comprehensive insights regarding the resonances between self-organization, pattern generation and emergent complex morphology. At the heart of this lies the nature of process-structures and their elaborations into multi-dimensionally entrained kinetic patterns of patterns-in-formation. We are experientially embodied with and inextricably embedded within this interplay of ubiquitous metapatterns with reciprocally related cultural artifacts and motifs offering insightful resonances as analytical tools advance and probe further into the inner workings of the human mind and the nature of embodied consciousness.

Resumen Con la ayuda de una tecnología en constante desarrollo, el análisis de los fenómenos complejos nos ofrece una visión más completa sobre el funcionamiento interno de los procesos dinámicos que suceden en la Naturaleza
The patterns generated by nonlinear dynamic processes are, intrinsically, highly ordered cellular coalitions of kinetic information, that incessantly self-modulate and are themselves modulated in ways comparable to improvised musical structure with variable leitmotifs
This complexity of metapatterns, when compared to less evolved diagrams, was metaphorically evoked by the physicist Erwin Schrödinger when he compared the difference between information contained in aperiodic and periodic crystals: “The difference in structure is of the same kind as that between an ordinary wallpaper in which the same pattern is repeated again and again in regular periodicity and a masterpiece of embroidery, say a Raphael tapestry, which shows no dull repetition, but an elaborate, coherent, meaningful design...” (Schrödinger, 1967, p. 5)
Summary
“You who speculate on the nature of things, I praise you not for knowing the processes which Nature ordinarily effects of herself, but rejoice if so be that you know the issue of such things as your mind conceives.” Leonardo Da Vinci (MacCurdy, p.70). These pattern-ing resolutions to dynamic activity are composed of encoded cellular units with the innate characteristics of the versatile processes that generate them This complexity of metapatterns, when compared to less evolved diagrams, was metaphorically evoked by the physicist Erwin Schrödinger when he compared the difference between information contained in aperiodic (irregular) and periodic crystals: “The difference in structure is of the same kind as that between an ordinary wallpaper in which the same pattern is repeated again and again in regular periodicity and a masterpiece of embroidery, say a Raphael tapestry, which shows no dull repetition, but an elaborate, coherent, meaningful design...” The rich diversity and potential of in-formation as revealed through more comprehensive interdisciplinary awareness and understanding, offers new insights and directions into the expressive versatility lurking within matter and Nature’s processes as these developments continue to be embraced for conceptual and metaphoric inspiration
