The Emerging SlideShare Effects

The Freeze Thaw Effect

Co-authored presentations is a great way to foster relationship

Joint authoring happens when people have shared visions

Why followers unfollow?Why friendship loses its warmth?

To keep together partners must walk at

the same pace so that no one will walk alone

Exchanged emotions must keep pace as well; else separation will result

Stretching and Folding make neighboring people distant from each other. It is the dough of human relations

The attractors of slideshare dynamics are usually driven by human desires of different kind: desires for fame, for influence, achievement, recognition, etc.

Values as 'attractors'One of the key insights of chaos theory is that of strange attractors. Is there a sense in which human values can be usefully understood as strange attractors?A prime characteristic of a strange attractor is that it is defined as the focus of a pattern of seemingly chaotic behaviour. But it is the pattern that signals the presence of that focus which cannot be identified in any other way. Like strange attractors, human values do not manifest in any tangible manner but rather through interpretations of the way behaviour is governed. But the intangible attractor may indeed be a matter of direct subjective experience under appropriate conditions of human development -- as practitioners of some spiritual traditions would claim.
