ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the concept of resonance as a way of highlighting isomorphisms in a large variety of systems. It examines some of these possibilities, particularly the possibilities this concept presents for describing these system isodynamics as a form of intelligent activity. The chapter explores “resonance” refers to this process as a whole, to the amplification of energy and to the sympathetic vibration upon which this amplification is based. Resonance is essentially an acoustical concept, but its use as a metaphor in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, psychology, and communication. References to resonance as an explanatory principle can be found in various places in the writings of these psychologists. Certain communication theorists have made direct reference to the idea of resonance in their work. The chapter considers briefly the nature of structure in an effort to reveal the link between the concepts of resonance and intelligence.
