Greetings dmb and ALL, Your post reminds me why I love the net of jewels analogy:
Imagine a net made of jewels, an infinite net containing an infinite number of jewels. Each one finely cut and polished, each one glittering and each one unique. Each one is reflecting brilliant light. As we look at any of the jewels, we see that it is, in fact reflecting every single one of the other jewels in the net - the infinite number of them. If we look closer, we realize that the jewel in fact consists of the reflections. Without the reflections of the other jewels, it has no independent existence. And yet each jewel is unique in itself.
