Compound Phylogons:
    Boundary Crossing Flow in Stack Form

    Classic flow is represented by a meandering river that crosses the interior of a phylogon. Phylogon boundaries are defined by the interruption of flow. The river landscape, a metaphor for flowing thought, is often shown as disjoint piecessince mental activity is not normally a continuous flow. A typical thought sequence is really a stack of ideas, problems, reflections, desires, and emotions. Flow may be mapped vertically thorough the moment or traced into the next moment. How closely the river lines up between phylogons indicates the degree of harmony or discord in the jump. As an upper limit, a phylogon representation of meditation to the point of liberation might be represented by a single unbound phylogon filled with an image of a still pond. Reality acrobats attempt to maintain continuity; or, if unsuccessful, they surf the flow across the interruption.
