Anticipation denotes a poised state of mind. (This is "Anticipation" in an Subjective sense.) Anticipation is also taken to denote the premeditation of ‘things yet to come’. (This is “Anticipation“ in an Objective sense.) The 2nd meaning, the foreknowing of the future, effecticly kills our realisation of creation: if we know what will happen, when, how and why. the experience of the future will become indistinguishable from our experience of the past/present. The experience of Life and creation will be totally lost. This is the kind of anticipation we will not want. The kind of Anticipation we will want. is the knowledge of moments to maximise our experience in of creation, by optimising our involvement. (The subjective mechanisms involved are separately described in a parallel paper; "Options & Choices, Doubts & Decisions) By understanding what (Subjective) Anticipation is not (objective predictability) the subjective realisation of Anticipation can be enhanced. This involves the principles of Total System Inversion, the properties of Boundary Transition, and the Criticality, Catastrophe, Collapse and Compressibility of a system. All of these reflect our own involvement; which is the basis for our understanding of Anticipation in the fullest sense.
