			{{See also\|Classical, Modern, Hypermodern: The linkage complexity theory}}
			Released in 2023, [[Varoza]] proposed a system that classifies combos based on rotational complexity, using the number of valid tricks per rotation as the measurement. This is projected out into a trend that describes combos increasing in rotational complexity over the history of pen spinning, and predicts the final conclusion of the trend being 'hypermodern' combos that can achieve the linkage complexity limit.

			''Metaphysics'' within the context of pen spinning is concerned with defining the fundamental principles that differentiate pen spinning from other things. It aims to answer questions such as "What is Pen Spinning" and "What is Pen Spinning like?".
