network

imagine, for a moment, the world as i see it. everyone is a cell. the cell is a globe of writhing strings of elemental equations, layer upon layer going from petty thoughts, those quick strings changing so rapidly, to the very core of what makes you a person, grand equations that have had years to develop and transform into who you are today. now imagine that cell floating in a dome with seven billion others, as well as the untold infinity of plants, animals, and other living things. the dome is near infinite, at least big enough to hold the entire population of the world quite comfortably. and between the individual globes, an unimaginably vast network or stings displays a realtime account of every relation ever to exist within the world we live in.
this is how i perceive things. zoom in on a certain section of the world, watch the relationships and bonds come and go. try and analyze the blockings and bondings that go on with the world. try and sense the feelings of others, see those thoughts flitting around just under the surface of the globe that is the complete and utter being of someone else.
just kidding.
the webs of communication that move across the world are vastly complex. it's impossible for someone of my concentration and imagination to imagine even the most basic of the links that travel across the world. all i can do is imagine. sometimes i can figure a single link, with a lot of information and a comfortable place to sit. there's a rock outside of my school building surrounded by flowers. it's calm, peaceful, and if i'm lucky none of the class below me throws the flowers at me. the bonds there are simple and clean, but all the more powerful for it. i can read the emotions, imagine the parameters of the equations that govern some of my closest friends. but i have a long way to go. these webs will be the a part of much of my future writing. hope i can spark your imagination...
