(1) Interconnection? The movements of intelligence in Nature resonate
together like the circular waves of water droplets merging on the surface
of quiet water. Shake one, and they all shake. Leave one out, and another
steps in to take its place.
This is why machines like computers, which are based not so much
on the all-at-once of the resonance of natural intelligence, but rather on
long, complicated, necessarily explicit strings of logical thought, so
easily break. And they do this, as we all know, in frequently highly
disturbing and unpredictable ways. Their connections must indeed
be 'hard-wired', so to speak, one-at-a-time.
Given the present need for this surface absolute precision, and therefore
the lack of the greatly more flexible relational movements of resonance,
computers, computer networks and the software upon which they depend,
are all prone to go haywire with even the slightest low-level error.
Remarkably, if one were forced to tune the complex weave of the
interconnected sounds and rhythms of an orchestra in this way, one
would not make it past the first bar.

(3) Without complementarity, there can be no
movement. Once
there is difference, however, there is necessarily a complementarity
between this and that. Art happens in the balance created between
them.
It is possible, at the same time, for there to be intense activity,
either on the performance stage or in the political arena, but
without any movement of a significant kind. Commonly, this
is accompanied by complicatedness or unnecessary difficulty
of every description, which go on to create a kind of camouflage
for the intuited but not yet fully understood lack of meaning.
The key feature in this is that, whatever is happening, despite
all the noise or commotion, makes no real—ie., relevant—
difference. [For a different version of same miniature,
