Perpetuum Mobile
This is a work-in-progress.
Several emails have been pasted together as a start for the theme I'm trying to understand.
This slip into a classic pitfall has provided a personally novel perspective on more aspects of humanity than I imagined from my first approach to it.
By cross-referencing and generalizing my experience to as many areas of knowledge as possible I hope to discern an underlying structure in the psyche.
