| In a world of alleged chaos its always interesting to go to the basic designs of
nature and the basic designs of human origin, like the design of a ship. From the ships of the Rockcarvers to stealth vessels of modern warfare there are basics in design which are impossible to change. You simply need deplacement - a hollow for transport on water or in air. Speed and form of the vessels differ but the basic principles are unchanged. In nature there are as well certain implicit principles which, for example, unite fierce meat eating dinosaurs and dictators. Its frightening to go to basics in nature as well as in culture. But chaos - no. Look at the design of a ship.  Tomas Brusell articles |
