(2) Control imposes order from without by
projecting the predetermined thought,
conditioned by the past, of what should happen. The need to control
increases as
the disorderly, unexpected, side-effects of past efforts accumulate, which
results
in ever-greater complicatedness; In contrast, limit allows order to emerge
from
within by determining only what at any given moment should not
happen. Limit is
therefore open to the future and tends strongly towards ever-greater simplicity.

(3) A sound, natural, limit in any system is
when there is no conflict
or contradiction between what does and what does not happen.
(4) The Flat-tire Model of Reality
20 miles out, 20 miles back.
Got a flat; That's a fact.
Hard as nails, Life's like that.
Gotta act—now; That's a fact!
20 miles out, 20 miles back.
Got a flat; That's a fact.
Excuses, excuses—
Why can't I live like that?
