Reconsiliation of particles, engaged
similar, dissimilar, bodily states
spectacular resurgence of humanity, belayed
by caged structures asserting their gaze

proactive thought, model of insecurity
atomic function marks difference, innate
twice removed from superficial plurality
twice as potent, distance that evades

Relapse to the hinderance of humanity, enslaved
replacing images with sentimental theory
twice as potent, distance that evades
structures silently asserting their gaze

acts evolve from raw to hope
primitive rationale, atoms and void
mechanisms charged irresponsibly cope
structures secretly asserting their gaze

emotional phantasm indecently deploy
the qualities forget their chaotic composure
independence removed to pathetic envoy
structures subliminally asserting their gaze

pliable self betrays natural flow
the stage is set for organic exposure
twice as potent, distance that evades
structures inverted asserting their gaze

Interesting quote by Brian Eno

WM: I think I know what you mean. Artificial life researchers talk about surfing the wave of increasing complexity. A very complex system gets close to a certain edge between rigid control and utter chaos - that's when the whole thing can surf to the next level of complexity. They see this in evolutionary systems. Some go as far as to say that's what life does: surf on entropy.

BE: I like that. Metaphors involving the sea are very powerful to me. You have this interesting conflict - a sense of direction, a need to get somewhere, but in a medium that has its own, probably different, sense of direction. You can use the piggyback power of that medium, but you have to keep paying attention, making your own adjustments. Unless you really do want to go with the flow.

Neat eh!
