haiku

toward the second model

1. unfolding path in a multi-dimensional space -> around the corner effect
2. no need for metaphors, 'cos the understanding must be complete before writing.
3. nature - prediction/prophecy - evolutionary background
4. pattern discovery/association
5. fractal meme-complexes
6. "picture" haiku replaced by digital photography.
7. why do we need haiku?
8. why do we need people?
9. secondary immune system - penetration through the familiar.
