Now we are at home. But home does not preexist: it was necessary to draw a circle around that uncertain and fragile center, to organize a limited space. Many, very diverse, components have a part in this, landmarks and marks of all kinds. This was already true of the previous case. But now the components are used for organizing a space, not for the momentary determination of a center. The forces of chaos are kept outside as much as possible, and the interior space protects the germinal forces of a task to fulfill or a deed to do. This involves an activity of selection, elimination and extraction, in order to prevent the interior forces of the earth from being submerged, to enable them to resist, or even to take something from chaos across the filter or sieve of the space that has been drawn.
Makes me think of abiogenesis. enclosing an area with a rudimentary cell wall that allows you the ability to organize and regularize certain functions in a way that opposes the chaos of primordial soup. also i should read about Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics and Dissipative Systems but that's neither here nor there.
