===================

  Jives with Chaos Theory, the Science of Complexity, and also, long before 
them, Edward Gibbon (18th century) and Will Durant (20th century), among so 
many others, on the nature of History itself: Always presenting the same 
smoother aspect but never the same finer detail. Utopia-like entropic 
aspect. Frontier-like energetic detail. Large aspect being far simpler, far 
less differentiated (far less varied), far more certain and predictable (in 
trends), though rarely so obviously so in foresight (conversely, always so 
obviously so in hindsight). Far more reachable and graspable....far less 
discrete. Fine detail being far more complex, far more differentiated (far 
more varied), far more uncertain and unpredictable (in trends). Far more 
unreachable and ungraspable....far more discrete. Each being always within 
the other as an integral inseparable part and side of the other. The two 
always being the fullest -most absolute- equals.

  Dismiss one, at any time, as being of lesser presence and consequence, you 
are in deep trouble with the other. You then have little dimension.
