None of us actually exist, at least not in the ways we generally believe that we do.

Organisational Concept Mnemonics
Organisational principles or methods are certainly facillitated by visual mnemonics, but the process is lossy – useful or important information is always lost in translation.
The great enigma of scientific and technological progress: for every great leap forwards there exists a concurrent potential for even greater (catastrophic) leaps backwards.
The distributed information systems which we experience as social, cultural, economic and cognitive (or technologically-mediated) reality are implicitly weighted towards the self-replication and reproduction of existing patterns and biases.

Good fortune or success may be more often a matter of statistical probability than of human intention or intervention.

Between Life and Death
Life is commonly considered as antithetical to death but in some ways, there may be a common ground and source between them.
A logic of self-organisation, information-pattern replication and complexity appears at every inflection of discovery to reveal itself as some kind of explanatory “master key”.
