phenomena have many cycles in their dynamics
attractors with one degree of freedom
that twist upon themselves for support

this repeatability provides some capability of prediction
when things happen again

because sometimes unhealthy dynamics recur

sicknesses and hatreds grow in people
provoked by the rhythm of the cycle

and since experience is never the same
the cyclic state arrives in new combinations every sensation

sometimes bad things can be avoided
and we can exert some dynamical control

it's called learning
