Illustration 17 shows a diagram of an overview regarding the phase linking of heart and breathing rhythm so far proven in humans with other functional rhythms related in the spectrum, whereby the arbitrary motor rhythms are also included. The breathing and heart rhythm are in the centre of a polar field of tension of the rhythmic organisation of humans. Here, the harmonic regulating principles meet the dissolving influences of the performance-determined frequency modulations of the rhythmic functions.
The phase linking between the rhythms contributes to the functional economy by aiming at certain co-action positions, and can specify whole numbered-harmonic frequency ratios.
