A turn or twist about a center or a spiral, within a whirl or a vortex.
This is a characteristic feature of toroids, as a general systemic model proposed by D. Mc NEIL (1993,a,b), who writes: “The combined effect of systemic order and repeatability is to produce a loop or cycle of an ordering, i.e. a volutionary organization” (1993 b, p.5).
Still more generally, a volution is the materalized expression of energy transfers in a field.
