From the Aug. 30 post "A Brief Introduction to Ideas,"
an epigraph from Four Quartets —
Another view of the way up and the way down:
"Of course, presentation of the effect in the cause
is exactly what blending the Buddhist Monk's
two journeys provides. The cause is the dynamics
of the two input journeys; the effect is the existence
of a location on the path they occupy at the same time
of day. In the blend, the location and the encounter are
presented directly as part of the causal dynamics of motion."
