Trapper,

What better example of synergy is there!!!  The dead system components 
will yield no "effect" with out the "organism", man, to assemble and 
balance it.  The system of raw components is incapable of anyform of 
natural balance or specific output if thrown together ad hoc.  Man, by 
himself can't make sparks arc or produce RF energy or radiation (the 
desired "effect").

  The two systems, one organic and intelligent (we hope), the other a 
mechanistic system, incapable of any form of self-organization, couple to 
complete or perform a function yielding an "effect" that neither are 
capable of separately.  It is the most synergistic of all imagined 
couplings! (organic to inorganic), (Art to science), the (animate to the 
inanimate).  Result... An "effect". 

 Snyergistic "feedback" to the animate, cogent, organism (observing 
problems, devisising solutions) will assist in a further syngerism 
between the two systems.  Learning to a high level of comprehension and 
understanding in the organic.  Greater efficacy of "effect" and a higher 
level of organization in the inorganic.

I feel the word "synergy" perfectly discribes the human-Tesla coil 
interaction! 

Need we go any deeper into this?
