What is the meaning of oscillation?
From the sentence:
"The entire field of mind and matter is that of anicca, arising and passing. At the subteslt level there is mere oscillation."
Thanks
i think it mean repeatedly...
something that always happen the same way from the past(or before)..
Quotecycle, oscillation
- a single complete execution of a periodically repeated phenomenon
"seluruh bidang pikiran dan materi adalah anicca, timbul dan berlalu. Pada tingkat halus itu ada osilasi** belaka. "
**timbul dan berlalu, ulang mengulang
Quote"The entire field of mind and matter is that of anicca, arising and passing. At the subteslt level there is mere oscillation."
To oscillate and to repeat - Meaning is similar, but not the same.
Oscillation does repeat, but it doesn't simply mean to repeat.
Oscillation is repetitive variation (or predictable, repeating, change) between two (or more) states.

To repeat, is to happen, again and again. To oscillate, is to change, to change back, and to repeat, again and again. Oscillation is a cycle of repetition.
