We are trying to apply concepts of an out-dated
world view to a reality that can no longer be
understood in terms of these concepts
F. Capra

A science of unitary human beings basic to
nursing requires a new world view and a
conceptual system specific to nursings
phenomenon of concern Seeing the world from this
viewpoint requires a new synthesis, a creative
leap, and the inculcation of new attitudes and
valuesA science of unitary human beings
identifies nursings uniqueness and signifies
the potential of nurses to fulfil their social
responsibility in human service

Fields are irreducible, indivisible, pandimension
alidentified by pattern and manifesting
characteristics that are specific to the
wholeand cannot be predicted from knowledge of
the parts
23
Open Systems
energy fields are infinite, open, and integral
with each other
24

25
Pattern
Pattern identifies fields, manifestations
identify unique behaviours and are constantly
changing
26
Pandimensionality
Energy fields have no spatial or temporal
attributes
27
Three Principles
(describing the nature of change)
28
Principles of
Helicy
Resonancy
Integrality
29
Principle of Helicy
The continuous innovative, unpredictable,
increasing diversity of human-environmental
field patterns
30
Principle of Resonancy
The continuous change from lower to higher
frequency wave patterns in human and
environmental fields.
31
Principle of Integrality
The continuous mutual human field and
environmental field process.
