"Theoretical physicist F David Peat has written a wonderful book titled "Gentle Action."
Peat suggests that gentle action is a "kind of minimal but highly intelligent activity that arises out of the very nature of the system under investigation" (Gentle Action, p. 137). He proposes this concept as an alternative to Newtonian or mechanistic metaphors for action."
