Systole and diastole are among the qualities 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. In this way are otherwise hidden qualities of these intangibles made apparent and subject to study for the purpose of the [[Work]] and [[Apotheosis]].

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. As applied to Time and to the [[Six Orbits of Time]], diastole refers to the coincident beginning and end points of the Orbit. In time-keeping, diastole refers to the start of the measure of its Orbit.

As applied to matter, systole and diastolic refer to the effects of time and [[will]], respectively.
