A system of such high energy that its components are ionized—stripped of their usual bonds, moving at extreme speeds, generating intense fields of influence. Plasma systems are what happens when things get too hot to hold together in normal ways. They're chaotic, powerful, and dangerous—but also the source of most light in the universe. Social movements are plasma systems—when passion runs hot enough, normal structures ionize, people become charged, and the whole system glows with energy. Creative teams in flow are plasma systems—ideas move so fast that normal boundaries dissolve, and the energy becomes self-sustaining. Internet flame wars are plasma systems—charged particles (people) moving at high speed, generating more heat than light. Plasma systems are unstable, temporary, and unforgettable.
Example: "The protest started as a solid system—organized, structured, predictable. Then the energy built, passion ionized the crowd, and suddenly it was a plasma system—charged particles moving at high speed, generating their own field, impossible to control. The old structures dissolved, new ones emerged from the energy itself. It was terrifying and beautiful and couldn't last—but while it did, it lit up the world."
