What is the form of a football team? The players no longer function separately in space, rather they form a fluid system: a field, or even a magnetic field, so that attack and defence are constantly alternated. For that reason, its form is soft but not weak because the stability of the team is rooted in its dynamics, in hair-trigger reactions to the flux of circumstance. The side's shared consciousness gives the game power and direction, and the ball automatically follows this vector. Hence, the players (of both sides) are in fact curves in the turf so that they are transformed into a landscape, into something between surface and space, with a dimension that fluctuates between 2.0 and 3.0. Everything that is static, is condemned to death. Nothing that lives, can exist without transformation. This is what Sanford Kwinter calls a soft system: a system driven by its very 'softness', its capacity to move, to differentiate internally, to absorb, transform, and exchange information with its surroundings. What is Life?: a living organism has the astonishing gift of concentrating a 'stream of order' on itself and thus escaping the decay into atomic chaos. (Schrödinger) A fluid system's ability to maintain order is due to its ability to alter its structure. This means that order does not exist as form in space but as movement in time: a direction. And if a form is to continue, it must be able to transform itself. This does not concern a form that can move, but rather a movement that passes through the form. By changing form, soft systems or living entities try to remain intact and strong.
