meta-Tao arrows

Vladimir Kush, Chaos Butterfly, Arrow of Time

The next metapattern discussed by Tyler Volk and Jeff Bloom are arrows, structure to indicate flow. progression, directional links and relationships. and directionality in general:

Background

Arrows indicate flow, progression, directional links and relationships, and directionality in general. Arrows are often linked to time (as an arrow) and sequences. Arrows of time are equivalent to tubular relations in space. Arrows also depict specific directional relations between binaries.

Examples

• In science: chemical reactions, acceleration, nerve transmission, vectors, velocity, osmosis, rivers, currents, wind, volcanic flow, bird flight, etc.

• In architecture and design: traffic flow, sequences in construction, escalators, directionality in lighting and décor; structural strength in supporting weight; etc.

• In art: as objects, as eye movement in looking at piece of art, choreography, drama, etc.

• In social sciences: directional relations, movement, flow, stages and sequences, etc.

• In other senses: journeys and pilgrimages; travel plans; agenda; etc.
