Phase space a.k.a. the fractal 'bubbles' out of network's froth conceptualised to .. analysis .. from an imaginary mathematical construct to network's unleashed activity envisaged ..where all acts .. trajectories
--- separates the boundaries .. the empty space .. the physical impossibility
'Introducing chaos' by Ziauddin Sardar and Iwona Abrams, page 48.
".. suppose instead of fixed object (a building), we had a moving object - say, a pendulum. We can represent the horizontal and vertical motion of the pendulum in a two-dimensional graph."
the horizontal and vertical motion .. tracing its movement .. writing its history .. its horizontal/vertical displacement .. moving object .. hence, dynamic .. recording the object's, under study .. dynamics

"..phase space represents the state of an object in a multi-dimensional plane. The motion of the simple pendulum could be shown on a graph where the x-axis is the angle of displacement from the vertical and the y-axis is the angular velocity."

"On this phase space diagram, the simple pendulum shows as a circle."

"Phase space turns dull statistical data into a telling picture, abstracting all the essential information from the moving parts and providing us with an easy to grasp overview of the system's behaviour over time."
.. dull statistical data .. trivial information .. information that do not lead to system comprehension .. system poorly comprehended .. undermine knowledge .. provide spurious explanations .. objects presented are not understood in their entirety .. objects incoherent .. information ..as dis-information .. mis-information ..

"In phase space, the complete state of knowledge about a dynamical system at a single instant collapses to a point. That point then is the dynamical system at that instant. At the next instant, the system will have changed, and so the point moves."
a network itself .. residing upon networks
