This is interesting.

Drawing intellectual cues from Nobel laureate Dr Ilya Prigogine, for postulating his brilliant Theory of Dissipative Structures, our brain, which is an open dissipative structure, goes into a spiral after agitation, or perturbation (as he defined it), and faces two choices at the bifurcation point, downwards into entropy or upwards into a higher order.

I have had learned this phenomenon from his writings back in the early nineties.
