Document Summary

The grid: fundamentally different to nature, and is specific to human beings due to (cid:28667)(cid:28680)(cid:28672)(cid:28660)(cid:28673)"(cid:28678) (cid:28675)(cid:28664)(cid:28677)(cid:28662)(cid:28664)(cid:28675)(cid:28679)(cid:28668)(cid:28674)(cid:28673) (cid:28674)(cid:28665) geometry. Continuous: every step is progress towards the present. Justifying and explaining how we got to the origin to where we are: origin point is a critique of continuity, a myth from the beginning. Nobody could have known the origin of anyone, which destabilizes continuity. To trust the myth makes the myth reality. Humans at first are no different than animals. Picture: background is past, foreground is the future. Humans as beasts, the relationship to nature is fear. Threw logs into it and preserve it: from fear to embrace, seeing the advantages. It is the discovery and embrace of nature and learning its advantages and controlling it to make a technology is the invention.
