Systole and diastole are conventions used to describe the lower and upper limits, respectively, of the [[Things]], [[Beings]], and various attributes of the [[Vast]], including [[space]] and [[time]]. The one exception is the [[Entities]], which are absolute and unchangeable.
Systole and diastole are aspects of what is revealed when an intangible such as space or time is [[iconized ]] as the Six Orbits of Space or the Six Orbits of Time. Each Orbit possesses its own systole and diastole, and the relationships between the Orbits are mediated through them.
As applied to the [[Six Orbits of Space]], the orbits’ systole is that part which gulfs the [[Red Garden]] at the center of [[Anesidore]]. The Six Orbits of Space are uniformly [[tenspan]] in height and tenspan in width at their systole. At their diastole they are hundredspan in height and hundredspan in width.
As applied to the [[Six Orbits of Time]], systole refers to the midpoint of the orbit, exactly one half of the Orbit. In time-keeping, systole refers to one-half of the measure of its Orbit. == Diastole == With regard to Space, diastole refers to the large extreme of [[things]], the point past which something can expand no further, without becoming something else. As applied to the [[Six Orbits of Space]], diastole is that part which bodies the apertures of [[Rose Window]] and [[Remembry]] at the outermost of [[Anesidore]]. The cross-section of diastole of each of the Six Orbits of Space is uniformly [[hundredspan]] in height and hundredspan in width. At systole the Six Orbits of Space are tenspan in height and tenspan in width in cross-section. As applied to Time and to the [[Six Orbits of Time]], diastole refers to the coincindent beginning and end points of the [[Orbit]]. In time-keeping, diastole refers to the start of the measure of its Orbit.
