The concept of complementarity, originally proposed by Bohr in a microphysical context, and subsequently extended by himself, Heisenberg and Pauli to encompass subjective as well as objective dimensions of human experience, can be further expanded to apply to many common attitudes of human consciousness. At issue is the replacement of strict polar opposition of superficially antithetical consciousness capacities, such as analysis and synthesis, logic and intuition, or doing and being, by more generous conjugation that allows the pairs to operate in constructive triangulation and harmony. In this format, the physical principle of uncertainty also acquires metaphoric relevance in limiting the attainable sharpness of specification of any consciousness complements, and may serve to define their optimum balance in establishing reality. These principles thus lend themselves to representation of wave-like vs. particle-like operations of consciousness; to trade-offs between rigor and ambience in consciousness research; to generic masculine/feminine reinforcement; and to the interplay of science and spirit in any creative enterprise.
互补性概念最初由玻尔在微观物理学背景下提出，随后他本人、海森堡和泡利对其进行了扩展，将人类经验的主观和客观维度都涵盖在内。这一概念还可进一步扩展，以应用于人类意识的许多常见态度。问题在于，用更宽泛的结合方式取代表面上对立的意识能力（如分析与综合、逻辑与直觉、行动与存在）之间的严格两极对立，这种结合方式允许这些对子以建设性的三角关系和和谐状态运作。在这种形式下，不确定性的物理原理在限制任何意识互补体可达到的精确程度方面也具有隐喻意义，并且可能有助于在建立现实时确定它们的最佳平衡。因此，这些原理适用于意识的类波与类粒子运作的表述；适用于意识研究中严谨性与氛围之间的权衡；适用于一般的男性/女性强化；以及适用于任何创造性事业中科学与精神的相互作用。
