COMBINE SEPARATE
CREATE freedom DESTROY
MIX MATCH
ORDER
Meme #1: Creating "order" from "chance" requires "freedom". The process is
to "combine" and "separate" (which are a balanced pair, "male" and
"female"--this comes to have more relevance later). This results in
"creation" and "destruction". The combine/separate pairing is
counterbalanced with "mix" and "match"--though cyclic, this is also
progressive (mixing being to combine/separate what matching is to
combine/separate...mix is to match what combine is to separate; mix is to
combine what match is to separate, etc.) This packet of information is self
contained and self regulating--it is a meme--IT IS NOT LIVING BECAUSE ITS
DICHOTOMY DESTROYS IT,,,NEGATES IT. The pattern is internalized by an
organism so that these functions do not have to be performed consciously.
