Repeated external change converts into internal difference through energy reversal

Evidence

Continuation (‘this point is everywhere and penetrates everything’) and halt (‘breaking off’), contraction is simultaneously mediation and explosion. … Necessarily, mediation and explosion imply both change and the conservation of change. If repeated change produces a difference in the subject experiencing it, this means that change coming from the outside has altered into a change emerging from the inside. The law of this alteration is the law of reversibility of energies, or reciprocal transformation of passivity into activity. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 526

Categorization

• XREF: The conversion of external change into internal difference — reciprocal passivity-activity transformation — directly undergirds the reader’s plasticity-as-form-change concept and its brain-work application. — connects to: Repeated external change becomes internal change through reversal of passivity into activity; Repeated external change reverses into internally originating change — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 526
• DEEPTHINKING: The reversibility law — repeated external alteration becoming internal difference — is the dialectical engine connecting contraction to self-formation; dense enough to sit with.
