"Quite clearly, our task is predominantly metaphysical, for it is how to get all of humanity to educate itself swiftly enough to generate spontaneous social behaviors that will avoid extinction."

Design Metaphysics: The Design Particle II
Conceptual impressions surrounding this post have yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument, context or network.
*“Nature began with the plasma. Cooling of the plasma converted it into a gas. Cooling of the gas converted it into a liquid. Cooling of the liquid converted it into a solid … That plasmas are the first state of matter or of which arose the other three states of matter has been amply demonstrated. The ubiquity of plasmas in the universe needs no demonstrations. The phenomenal diversity of plasma is there all over the universe for all to see.”
Introduction to Dusty Plasma Physics, 2014, pp i, 2)
* “From the range of authoritative comment shown here, we can see now that there is an overwhelming consensus among scientists researching in this area that the Universe is mostly a plasma universe, and that what we call 'physical matter' or what I prefer to call ‘atomic matter’, since it is not plasma. Must be very rare indeed. And plasma is the fundamental building block of atomic matter; … a plasma is the first state of matter out of which all other states of matter originated … Nature began with the plasma.”
* “…in most of the universe, plasma is actually the ‘first’ state of matter, and by a very large margin. Out there, fully intact atoms are abnormal in the extreme. Practically all the visible contents or the cosmos – not just stars, but even regions of rarefied interstellar dust containing barely a million particles per cubic metre – are in a plasmic state.”
Vladimir Yevgeyevish Fortow, Extreme States of Matter on Earth and the Cosmos, 2011, p.ix
* “It is likely that 99 per cent of the matter in our universe (in which the dust is one of the omnipresent ingredients) is in the form of a plasma. Thus, in most cases a plasma coexists with the dust particulates. These particulates [matter in the form of minute separate particles] may be as large as a micron. They are not neutral, but are charged either negatively or positively depending on their surrounding plasma environments. An admixture of such charged dust or macro-particles, electrons, ions, and neutrals forms a “dust plasma.”
“All things manifesting in the lower worlds exist first in the intangible rings of the upper spheres, so that creation is, in truth, the process of making tangible the intangible by extending the intangible into various vibratory rates.”
*“ … space is not empty. A percentage of atoms in space are positively charged due to the loss of one or more electrons. The resulting exceedingly thin medium, containing ‘ions’ and negative electrons, is plasma, sometimes called the ‘fundamental state of matter’ since it constitutes more that 99 per cent of the visible universe. The electromagnetic behaviour of plasma clearly distinguishes it from solids, liquids, and gases.”
Coherent resonance is a force of agency emerging from the unknown vapors of a virtually plasmic (quantum) field of energy in motion. The transition, translation and transformation of that agency is made symbolically apparent by means of an agent (sign/symbol) and/or agency (metaphor, analogy) i.e. a design.
Design agents and agencies harmoniously resonate with other agents and/or agencies of like vibration and frequency by means of coherent resonance. In turn, patterns emerge and identities attract creating patterns of unity, identification, uniqueness and distinction.
virtual: near, in effect, essential, practical, to all intents and purposes, indirect, implied, implicit, unacknowledged, effective.
agent: emissary, proxy, go between, surrogate, liaison, means, instrument, vehicle
Your description delves into the concept of "coherent resonance" with a poetic and intricate view of how forces and symbols interact within a virtually plasmic field of quantum energy. Let’s break this down:
1. Coherent Resonance: This is portrayed as a dynamic force arising from an undefined or nebulous quantum field of energy. It suggests that there's an underlying, perhaps invisible, energy or force that shapes and influences how things come into being or interact.
2. Symbolic Representation: The transition from this nebulous energy into something comprehensible describes a symbolic process by means of the application of signs, symbols, metaphor and analogy. These symbols or de-signs act as intermediaries that help translate abstract energy into something understandable, purposeful and meaningful.
3. Harmonious Interaction: The idea is that these symbols, i.e. designs, resonate with other similar symbols or designs to create a harmonious or coherent bond between them. This alignment is based on their frequency or vibration, and when contextually appropriate, leads to the emergence of a pattern and/or structure.
4. Patterns and Identities: As these harmoniously resonating elements interact, they form distinct patterns and identities. This process creates an intangible unity, uniqueness and wholeness within the system or network.
5. Virtual and Agent Definitions:
Virtual: This refers to something that is not immediately visible or tangible, but is implied or made both effective and affective in a practical sense.
Agent: This is a means or medium through which energy is communicated or acted upon, such as a symbol or intermediary.
Agency: This refers to the action or force that drives or influences a process or outcome, essentially the mechanism through which change or effect occurs.
In summary, coherent resonance describes a process where abstract, underlying energies and/or forces are interpreted and made tangible through symbol and metaphor. These symbols then interact in a harmonious way, forming patterns and identities that reflect a particular sense of unity and distinction. This concept can be applied to various fields, from design and communication to more abstract notions of influence and transformation, i.e. a quantum field of virtual potential and probability.

In other words, plasma harbors, perpetuates and nurtures the essence of both consciousness and its' design by means of consubstantiation. The act of designing recognizes the identity of the observer in reference to the context of the observation. Events and experiences symbolically entangle themselves within certain "perceivable constraints" where anything might emerge as result of the law of attraction.
By Kimberly Down Neumann and Rufus Tony Pann, Ph.D., L.C.P.C, "The basic philosophy behind the law of attraction is that energy precedes manifestation, explains Whitman. As such, positive thoughts may bring positive results into a person’s life, while negative thoughts bring the opposite."

"The metaphysical concept of "consubstantiation" has no reference to the theological definition of "consubstantiality". The literary critic Kenneth Burke best describes the usage of the word consubstantiality as "a practice-related concept based on stylistic identifications and symbolic structures ..." To be consubstantial with something is to be identified with it,to be associated with it: yet at the same time, to be different from what it is identified with. It can be seen as an extension or in relation to the subject."

The transition, translation and transformation of energy in motion, i.e. plasma, is a consubstantial phenomenon, a design event that can be observed in the context of a particle, wave, or agency.
Water best illustrates the process of design as a carrier of energy, light and information, aka life.
The design "particle" is always changing
Particle and wave as well as meaning and purpose can be interpreted in a relative tone when considering the density and frequency of one compared to the other. One speaks of the a phenomenon to be relatively tangible and the other relatively intangible. Final determination is a "matter" of context, dimension and point of view.
A wave of energy in motion becomes fully quantified when observed in concert with its source, which seemingly but not always, differentiates itself from the intangible soup from which appears to have evolved and been tasted.

“Whether between galaxies or within doughnut-shaped fusion devices known as tokamaks, the electrically charged fourth state of matter known as plasma regularly encounters powerful magnetic fields, changing shape and sloshing in space. Now, a new measurement technique using protons, subatomic particles that form the nuclei of atoms, has captured details of this sloshing for the first time, potentially providing insight into the formation of enormous plasma jets that stretch between the stars.”
"The only perfect map is one that reproduces precisely all the details of whatever it is mapping, or the “territory.” Hence the paradox: If the map is as large as the territory, it has no value whatsoever. A perfect map is as useless as it is impossible to create.
We can’t ever be sure that we have a net fine enough to capture all there is to capture in the subatomic world, for the simple reason that we can’t ever know all there is to capture!"
