  The Threshold of Coherence On Hypersynchrony, Limitation, and the Ethics of Encounter There is a point in certain relationships — clinical or otherwise — where coordination ceases to be a bridge and becomes a world. Two people who began by reaching toward each other find, at some unmarked threshold, that the reaching has stopped because arrival, of a kind, has occurred. What felt like attunement — that fragile, necessary responsiveness that developmental psychology rightly celebrates — has quietly transformed into something more enclosing.

Like all autopoietic systems — those that Maturana and Varela described as reproducing the very conditions of their own coherence — it sustains itself by the sa...
