[Marsha] I visualize a pattern of value like a galaxy, where the most commonly shared aspect of a pattern are clustered more densely in the middle, while the less commonly held aspects of the pattern, for whatever reason, are on the peripheral.
[Krimel] Sort of, although I would phrase it differently. I recently claimed, with this sort of thing in mind, that a "better" set of metaphysical "levels" would be trunk, limb, branch, leaf. That is how patterns form in the "real" world and in our conceptions of it. That in fact is how all of our thoughts and feelings are encoded in the fractal structure of our nervous systems. It is all areas of dense flow surrounded by fractual streams and branches. Case once put it this way: Strokes of lightning slash the skies In their flash the darkness dies The fractured lines of time and fate Inscribe the shape of love and hate. A coin in spin... Head chasing tails To see that other side... It fails. When things don't cleave, they shatter All the pieces scatter Distinctions that should matter Blend in gray Facets twitch and twinkle Perspective shifts in every wrinkle Edges that define dissolve upon a touch. In or out's the question. Does it matter much? Each tick Each tock All rhythms Mock Such things don't cleave, they shatter All the pieces scatter. Distinctions that should matter turn to gray. And yet, in every spot of gray We see that white and black still play.
