Potential

The body maintains.
Or collapses.

Difference exists across boundaries.
Difference does not persist without opposition.

Difference is held.
Loss acts continuously.

Loss occurs.
Restoration attempts to follow.

Restoration does not reach fully.
Loss continues.

Difference decreases.
Restoration increases.

Restoration alters the state.
State does not return.

Difference shifts.
New imbalance appears.

Cycle repeats.
Cycle does not converge.

Movement follows difference.
Movement reduces difference.

Reduction weakens direction.
Direction becomes unstable.

Direction shifts.
Movement continues.

Opening allows passage.
Opening does not remain.

Closing interrupts passage.
Closing does not end it.

Alternation sustains activity.
Alternation does not stabilize.

Increase occurs locally.
Limitation follows.

Limitation is tested.
Limitation yields partially.

Increase returns.
Limitation does not keep pace.

Accumulation appears in one region.
Depletion appears in another.

Redistribution attempts correction.
Correction does not coincide.

Correction reduces one imbalance.
Reduction intensifies another.

Difference decreases in one region.
Difference increases elsewhere.

Redistribution repeats.
Resolution does not occur.

Loss continues during restoration.
Restoration continues during loss.

Overlap persists.
Separation of processes does not occur.

Cost accompanies each adjustment.
Adjustment does not reduce cost.

Consumption continues.
Recovery does not keep pace.

Delay persists between loss and restoration.
Delay allows further loss.

Deviation emerges before correction.
Correction does not end deviation.

Difference persists weakened.
Stability does not form.

Activity continues under strain.
Strain does not diminish.

If difference is no longer sustained,
separation does not persist.

Loss exceeds restoration.
Restoration does not follow.

Difference diminishes without return.
Return does not occur.

Movement loses direction.
Response does not follow.

Accumulation does not hold.
Depletion is not corrected.

Imbalance spreads.
Redistribution does not respond.

Difference collapses.
Activity does not return.

Cycle interrupts.
Adjustment does not restart.

State approaches uniformity.
Uniformity does not sustain activity.

Difference remains.
But it no longer holds under tension.
