The
Unified
Transition Theory™ by
Glenn Olien
“Revealing
the underlying structure of change”
The Unified Transition Theory proposes the human potential
for change can be represented by a fractal object of
33 parts."
Fractals
A fractal object is made up of parts having a similar
structure to the whole object. The parts of parts also
have a similar structure to each other as well as the
whole object. Each ‘master’ chart contains
parts associated to other ‘master’ charts
from within the original.
To get a visual idea of this, go to the Employment
chart. Within this chart is a ‘part’ called
“Health.” This ‘part’ has a
similar structure to the Employment chart. This can
be seen by viewing the Health chart. Within the Health
chart is the family part. This can be seen by viewing
the Family chart. The “age” part has the
Youth and Retirement charts. The Employer part has the
Corporate and Self-Employment charts.
Since the parts of ‘parts of parts of parts’
have similar structures, the individual parts can react
with each other in many ways. A non-fractal object has
a very clear cause and effect reaction. A small cause
creates a small effect and a big cause creates a big
effect.
An automobile is an example of a non-fractal object.
When you zoom into the part of a car you do not find
another car. If you zoom into a part of the car like
a piston you do not find it is made up of smaller pistons.
Most of nature is built on fractals. Most objects built
by people are non-fractals.
The UTT fractal object has many ways to react to an
effect:
· Small effects can create big changes (butterfly
effect)
· Big effects can create small changes (elephant
effect)
· Small effects can create small changes
· Big effects can create big changes.
The Butterfly Effect
Since each ‘part’ of the ‘parts of
parts of parts’ has similar structures, small
changes to one part of the structure can set up a feedback
loop with the other parts. These other parts can resonate
with each other and feed back to the original part and
create a big change.
The Elephant Effect
Also, since each part of the ‘parts of parts
of parts’ have a similar structure; large effort
to bring about change can be damped out by a negative
feedback loop with the other parts. These parts resist
the effort and little of no change occurs. This negative
feed back loop can also over power the initial effect
and make the change reverse.
Limitation
You are the most complex know object in the Universe.
The Unified Transition Theory Fractal is equally complex.
The difference is that you can see the underlying structure
of this fractal object, which gives you a new way of
thinking about change. The focus of change can be shifted
from changing yourself to changing your fractal structure.
Doing this can give you new insights and intuitions
on how to go about bringing about desired change.
The limitation of using this structure is, over time,
this object generates as much complexity as your life
does. The future structure of this object, like your
future life, is only a potential and not a certainty.
When images of the potential future are created on the
chart these are images of a potential future and are
not images of actual future events. The Unified Transition
Theory Fractal is subject to all the complex interactions
you experience when you try to bring about desired change
