My peripheral vision


...we're made of very tiny stuff, atoms. But we are also reliant on the macroscopic dimension, like the solar system. So we need both before we emerge, which makes us tertiary in as far as the complexity systems that lead to our particular dimension (life).


So matter exists...then stars and planets...and then, maybe, maybe, if everything is just right...life. We are not fundamental to either system, not atomic, not stellar (nor galactic or Universal if you want to take it farther), we are peripheral; A byproduct of the physical nature of the dimensions that become us.


It's a head-full, no?


When I'm done with this I'm going to tackle how matter is the byproduct of Euclidian and Fractal geometries (think sine waves!). We'll see how it goes...stay tuned.
