energy field

constitute the fundamental unit of both the living and nonliving.

Energy Field

field is unifying concept.

energy signifies the dynamic nature of the field.

human field

define as an irreducible, indivisible, pandimensional.

identify by pattern and manifesting characteristics that are specific to the whole and that cannot be predicted from knowledge of the parts

environmental field

irreducible, pandimensional energy field identified by pattern and integral with the human field.

universal of open systems

holds that energy fields are infinite, open, an integral with one another.

universal of open systems

human and environmental fields are in continuous process and are open systems.

pattern

distinguishing characteristic of an energy field and perceive as a single wave.

pattern

the nature of the _ changes continuously, innovatively, and this changes gives identity to the energy field

pattern

manifestation of pattern have been described as unique and refer to behaviors, qualities, and characteristics of the field.

pandimensionality

a nonlinear domain without spatial or temporal attributes.

pandimensionality

provides for an infinite domain without limit.

nursing

a learned profession

Nursing

focuses on the people in the world in which they live, as it encompasses people with their environments.

Nursing

creative use of science of nursing for human betterment

Nursing

professional practice six to promote sympathic interaction between human and environmental fields, to strengthen the integrity of the human field and to direct and redirect patterning of the human and environmental fields for realization of maximum health potential.

person

as an open system in continuous process with the open system that is the environment

Person

man is unified whole possessing his own integrity and manifesting characteristics that are more than and different from the sum of its parts.

health & illness

are manifestation of pattern and are considered to denote behaviors that are of high value and low value.

passive health

symbolize wellness and the absence of disease and major illnesses

environment

irreducible, front dimensional energy field identified by pattern and manifesting characteristics different from those of the parts.

environmental fields

are infinite and change is continuously innovative, unpredictable, and characterized by increasing diversity.

theatrical assertion

the life process is homeodynamic... this principles postulate the way the life process is and predict the nature of its evolving (p. 96)

helicy

spiral development in continuous, non-repeating, and innovative patterning.

resonancy

patterning changes with the development from lower to higher frequency, that is, with varying degrees of intensity.

integrality

reflects the unity or wholeness of humans and their environment.
