Strands of VN's indicators often lead me
along James Burke's TV series "Connections" ( as erudite,
amazing and amusing voyages as Sklyarenko's).
After V.Alexander's article, when reading
AS's synthesis today (in which he emphasizes
diverse "patriarchs" and the worlds they founded), I discerned
something else.
Some of the patterns that VN suggests
through allusions, insertions and hidden references might also be an
escape from the traditional frame of the scientific and academic
quouttions. They may be recreating superpositions, something similar
to what we find in... animal-vegetal mimicry (!) shining through the
mind of a very designing Author-Deity-Patriarch.
Biblical paradises, Milton,
Newton, Swinburne and the Shattal tree... From butterflies onto
flaws and flowers or "a chance that mimics
choice"?
