==Description==
'''Oscillation''' is the repetitive variation, typically in [[time]], of some [[measure]] about a central value (often a [[point]] of [[equilibrium]]) or between [[two]] or more different states. Familiar examples include a swinging [[pendulum]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current AC] power. The term [[vibration]] is sometimes used more narrowly to mean a [[mechanical]] oscillation but sometimes is used to be synonymous with "oscillation". Oscillations occur not only in [[physical]] systems but also in [[biological]] systems and in human [[society]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillation]

*190,000,000 years ago witnessed a westward extension of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Cordillera_(North_America)#Geologic_origin North American Carboniferous sea over the present Rocky Mountain] region, with an outlet to the Pacific Ocean through northern California. Coal continued to be laid down throughout the Americas and Europe, layer upon layer, as the coastlands rose and fell during these ages of seashore oscillations. ([[59:5|59:5.19]])
*Since we are speaking of [[gender]], I would like to mention [[DNA]] and its double helix quality. You [[expressed]] the untangling of [[confusion]] on this world regarding the sexes. It would be nice to come to an [[understanding]] of your mutual [[support]] for each other and from each other as this [[spiraling]] helix does for you all genetically. One without the other and there is no life; without each of you there is no [[life]]. You are to be seen as standing [[equal]] in a [[dynamic]] which will contribute to [[progress]]. It will never be [[static]]. Always will you culturally benefit from the [[oscillation]] back and forth with the [[traits]] that are more [[dominant]] in one and traits that are more dominant in the other. This provides movement. Perhaps we can take this [[conversation]] up again on Father's Day. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1998-05-10-Love_%26_Gender#Closing Elyon]
