Chapter 3 Tools:  The Tension Compression Loop Tools assist you in documenting a feedback mechanism that converts heat into structure.  The Tension Compression Loop is the process of using discomfort as a signal to design a new behavioral system, rather than escaping the tension. Conceptual Graph: The Tension Compression Loop (Flowchart) illustrates the five flow steps to work on converting internal friction into a new operational protocol.

Tension Compression Log:  Is a form to document the five steps in the Tension Compression Loop.  It includes explanations for each step, and areas to document your reflections, new design, and the next system refinement.
