Nora quotes Gregory, as he was fond of saying "A falling leaf is not just that and nothing more, things are implicit in other ways.” In response, she has nurtured what she calls "warm data.” It is defined as: "Transcontextual information about the interrelationships that integrate a complex system." She also coined the word "symmathesy" which is “to generate mutual learning contexts through the process of interaction between multiple variables in a living entity.”

There is always something ghostly about living constantly in a well-ordered state. You cannot step into the street or drink a glass of water or get on a street without touching the balanced levers of a gigantic apparatus of laws and interrelations, setting them in motion or letting them maintain you in your peaceful existence; one knows hardly any of these levers, which reach deep into the inner workings and, coming out the other side, lose themselves in a network whose structure has never yet been unraveled by anyone. So one denies their existence, just as the average citizen denies the air, maintaining that it is empty space. But all these things that one denied, these colorless, odorless, tasteless, weightless, and morally indefinable things such as water, air, space, money, and the passing of time, turn out in truth to be the most important things of all, and this gives life a certain spooky quality. Sometimes a man may be seized by panic, helpless as in a dream, thrashing about wildly like an animal that has blundered into the incomprehensible mechanism of a net. Such was the effect of the policeman's buttons on the working-man.

The goal should be to bring local actions into alignment with the sensuous anarchies of the biosphere itself, rather than abetting the slow-motion train wreck of the increasingly globalized, human-focused economy, which is denuding Gaia of its ecological possibilities, rather than expanding them.

I see I have much to learn about the interrelationships of human beings.

Georgia Peach

Georgia, a peachy little girl

One fine day wandered far from her home.

With mammoth twist and a single twirl,

Lost the dirt path on which she did roam.

  No worries, though, for this saucy child

Did spot a cottage deep in the wood.

The sun shone down on roses gone wild,

Made Georgia forget to be good.

  She knocked upon the ancient door,

Then flounced her golden, curly hair:

Listened for…

”When we look at the world, we see that this is not a place where different beings survive independently of one another. Earth is home to a web of living things that are connected to each other through a spinning kaleidoscope of relationships. We need each other to survive and thrive.” #survival #thrive #kaleidoscope #interrelationships #innerdependence #loveistheway (at NOPA District) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDrIUglBKybBxFj17gSEZV0QrKE71KBSrrkl9M0/?igshid=bjmdku0o6eur
