Fabulous! i'm thinking this stuff should start to catch on *any time now*! thanks...

Morton has a habit of decontextualising in order to build an initial platform for his beautiful juggling. He is skilled at verbally transversing meshes of references and making nodal skips across webs (apparently disconnected possible intersections) but his speeches arrive at the ear as contrived conceptual art. It’s seductive but he is stretching simple premises way beyond their required temporal space.

So?

Brilliant! A system is certainly smaller than its parts. A legal system, for instance, operates with the simple distinction of legality and illegality that frames all the humongous collections of laws, by laws, adjudications and all sorts of regulations and rulings in the legal sphere. A system is a hyperobject.

So Vishnu being the size of a thumb resting within the heart is not such a outlandish idea after all?
