Look around you. What do you see? You may be tempted to call out things as you see them, set your sights on the silken skirt that separates it from it. You may itch to fish a substance from its soup and sort it neatly by color or class. You may crave to nomenclate every family, genus, and species that you spy. And perhaps you’ll find that there’s solace in separation. I don’t blame you—we as humans are, after all, creatures of habit.
Now look a bit closer. No, closer. What’s the difference between your eyes, these words, and the air between them but a peppering of particles? What was once a boundary is now a bridge. In this great protein we call “life”, allow yourself to denature from human nature; quaternary to tertiary to secondary to primary, enantioselective to optically unreflective, an ordered effective to an entropic collective. Perhaps, then, we live in a great spectrum—the myriad objects that catch your eye are no less continuous than the waves that color them. Unconvinced? See for yourself.
