just want to say that, yes, I can agree with this, and I'm thankful for your words and references which puts some more flesh to the concept, especially I like the reference to the pure structure and its corruption which i think is at the core of the event, technically and theoretically, which again is between the digital and analog, or earth-time and atom-time maybe (though question remains of the discreteness of nature).
