Ok lets see if I can come up with something to explain the floating island analogy better, I doubt this will even work but whatever lets give it a shot.
if you have two things hit each other with equal and opposite force and direction, their forces cancel out completely. If they hit at a slight angle, there is a remainder force and direction that becomes the ricochet. If you have three or more things hit each other and richochet there's a chance there could be a secondary richochet depending on the initial angles and forces. If you now have streams of things hitting each other, you might start to see patterns of secondary richochets depending on the forces and angels.
Now if your objects are liquids those patterns of secondary richochets might turn into a stable vortex if the angles and forces are just right. Internally that vortex might have its own internal, encapsulated rhythm of other tertiary, quaternary, etc, richochets which could form a pattern that does not leave the larger vortex. layers of vortexes I guess you could say, The infinite components of the initial flows cancel out and you are left with this finite remainder pattern that becomes the internal logic or physics of the vortex.
This is the best I can think of right now to explain my analogy and I'm pretty sure I already more or less said this same thing. So yes, swirls that form unique encapsulated physics ecosystem islands based on the swirls that can also float around and etc is the analogy I thought simplified it best. Is it perfect? No, but it's what I had. I suppose another one would've been eddies in a river when two streams meet. But I'm guessing an analogy like that would've sounded even more new agey.
::EDIT:: I saw that, yes indeed, I did already say all of this in the thing that Laird was replying to even though he didn't quote me in it for it to be seen. I'll leave this up anyways just because.
