+|AdditionalOverview=Special Composition is about recognizing relationships in a way that makes it easier to embrace [[Adaptation]] and {{Credo|Adaptation}}.  Examples are given below, but a very simple example is a highway.
-** Understanding the relationship between our center of consciousness and the universe as a whole
+* A highway
-** TODO - more
+** With four or more lanes
-* How to approach each of these exercises
+** Some are going in the same direction
-** Play with your own perception, seeing systems in different ways, especially moving between each level of systems
+** Some are going in the opposite direction
-*** individual parts - Notice they are discrete and autonomous in their own way
+* On the highway are vehicles
-*** two or more individual parts - How do they relate and compare and contrast; how do they work together; what connects them and separates them
+** Some vehicles are traveling in the same direction
-*** similarities and differences between the following, noting how a system is composed and connected to other systems
+** Some are traveling in the opposite direction
-**** specialized systems (cars driving in one direction together)
+** Some are similar (red cars)
-**** parallel systems (two lanes of cars)
+** Some are different (cars vs semi-trucks)
-**** opposing systems (two directions of traffic)
-**** "ecology" - many systems that are loosely related (light poles, sidewalks and streets)

+This is really just a starting point to understand the concept.  If you find yourself noticing Special Composition, relax your mind and experience the following types of things.
-* Cars moving with you - all one system, but all individual cars
+* Play with your own perception, seeing systems in different ways, especially moving between the different systems you see (highway and vehicles)
-* Cars moving against you vs with you - two separate systems with opposing objectives, but at the same time, part of the same system of traffic flowing
+* Within a system, notice there are parts (lanes, individual cars).  Feel that they are just "parts" - they aren't the whole picture.
-* Notice other Systems and combinations of Systems, such as
+* Notice how easy and arbitrary it is to divide and combine things into systems that work together.  This is an important step in understanding [[Adaptation]].
-** Sidewalks and the grass next to them

-** Streetlights - alongside the sidewalks, in the grass, lighting the street

-** Telephone poles - similar to the streetlights, but not the same at all
