The contradiction of concentration or attraction vs.
diffusion or repulsion is a significant one that reflects the
movement at the essential core of a particular element. This contradiction or
dialectic movement was comprehensively developed first by Hegel in The Science of Logic from an idealistic or principled basis but was further
developed by Karl Marx in his 4 volumes of Capital
from a materialistic basis. The idea of concentration or attraction implies the
movement of the various parts in a particular way that join to form
and then comprise the whole. The whole then becomes the essential element or
body. When some parts are repulsed from the whole they become the other or
begin to form new wholes. This repulsion or diffusion of the whole is yet
another form of movement that characterizes a process whereby essential
elements are formed. Marx used concentration or attraction to describe how the
various elements, from an economic point of view, form the whole that is
capitalism. He also used this dialectical theoretical framework to explain how
some elements are also repulsed from the whole thereby laying the basis for
the formation of a new whole. Capitalism
is comprised primarily of the capitalists, owners of the means of production, who exploit the wage labour force that gives them surplus value/ unpaid labour time
that forms the basis for profit generation when calculated on the basis of the
total capital advanced. Elements of repulsion occur in capitalism when wage
labour becomes devalued and the high levels of labour productivity which comes
with capitalism forms the basis for the growth in technology. The increase in
the growth of capital is intertwined with the high levels of labour productivity
that comes with the wage labour force. The growth in labour productivity which
naturally leads to the growth of scientific application and technological
innovation tends to make workers in some particular industries obsolete or
redundant. They are then repulsed by the whole particularly if they are not
then absorbed by another industry. The repulsed workers then form the basis for
the industrial reserve army or those that exist on the fringes of society
particularly when it becomes hereditary and becomes the basis for ossified
class distinctions within the whole that is the capitalist mode of production.
I am focusing on this contradiction from a principled basis using the
materialist dialectic developed by Marx. This is a general discussion and is not
meant to make any ground breaking revelations. These discussions help to
highlight my own thought process and how I analyze particular
issues. I already addressed a similar issue when I spoke of the accumulator
becoming the destroyer.
The Forces of
Concentration or Attraction
Forces of concentration or attraction reflect the
movement of the various parts that comprise the whole or are attracted to an
essential element. The parts that comprise the whole become the essence of a
particular object or element. When one deals with the movement of the various
parts then this essential element assumes a relativistic position. This means
that the essential element is not a static element and is subject to alteration
and one reason is the forces that encourage various elements to combine to form
the whole. There must be an original element that attracted the others to
combine. I will discuss in the next
section the elements that are also repulsed because these do help to alter the
objective reality of the whole from a relativistic point of view. For the
moment I am focusing on the forces that
lead to attraction or concentration in order to emphasize the difference with
the forces that lead to diffusion or repulsion. The forces of attraction represent
a positive movement towards the core of an element. The element represents the
one because the one is an element unto itself. In the material world the one
becomes a force of attraction for several reasons. One can look at popular
events such as a world cup for football or the Olympics that attract those
individuals that want to achieve some form of national glory. There are also
economic spheres that attract individuals for the purposes of production or
consumption. A popular fair or event can encourage people to spend just as a fertile area can encourage the
significant production of some raw
material that will attract investment. The great cities of the world represent
a significant concentration of wealth because for many historical and
philosophical reasons there is a significant concentration of capital and trade
in these areas and so a lot of money circulates for the purposes of production
or consumption. This concentration of activity encourages people to flock to
these centres of wealth.
In order for the process of concentration to take place then
a particular element must exhibit some form of attraction. In the social sphere
of human beings and in the interactions of several species throughout the
natural world this force of attraction, that leads to the concentration of a
particular element, is originally attributed to some form of success. This is because most
elements begin quite small and the extent of their concentration represents
significant growth. The once small qualitative element that attracted numerous
diverse elements to its core now assumes a significant quantitative measure.
The increase in its quantitative measure becomes a representation of the extent of its
concentration although the core qualitative element remains the basis for this
expansion. The expansion represents only the diversity of one element. The one
then becomes the many. If a man attracts several women he must have a core
element that appeals to all of these individuals. In the social sphere it might
be that he has a lot of money which implies a command over a significant
portion of the world of commodities available in the market because of his
significant purchasing power. In order to have this great purchasing power he
must have been successful in some element of the social sphere whether it’s
sports, the arts, academia, the owner of a business etc. Biologically he may be very attractive and so
appeals to many females on this basis. The man, therefore, possesses a force of
attraction that will lead to him being the subject of interest for several
females. The man is the one and the females are the many that are attracted to
the one. The females will then embody his values and his mode of operation or
conduct. The same can apply to a beautiful female that many men want to please.
On twitter those individuals with millions of followers must have been
successful in the social sphere. This force is the accumulator that leads to
the accumulation of many diverse elements. In capitalism, also, you have
several major corporations that represent a variety of commodities produced for
sale in the market. All these corporations, however exist within a capitalist
framework. A commodity is a commodity because it generates a monetary profit
for the capitalist following its sale in the market. This is the general basis
for capitalism regardless of the diverse amount of commodities for sale. These
commodities represent only diversity but they are still determined by a
particular capitalist mode of production which is the one. The many capitals
involved form the general rate of profit even though one might get 50, the
other 20 and another 30. The total is still 100. (See Capital vol. 3 for more)Some
of these corporations engage in fierce
competition because they sell the same type of commodity and desperately try to
assert their differences but it does not change the fact that these companies
sell the same type of product. Depending on the success of a particular brand
of company and its reach in the social sphere it might be able to increase
sales in the market at the expense of its competitors but unless it controls the
entire market there will still be room for diversity. A phone can be made in such diverse ways but
it is still a phone. In the sphere of competition several companies lay claim
to the diversity of one particular product but this does not alter its core
essential basis. Competition does lay the basis for an increase in diversity
and improvement in the product but the core or its functionality still remains
the same. In this day and age cell phones can go on the internet or take photos
but this is diversity because the original basis for the phone is its role as a
live communicating device. When that essential element of the phone changes
then it ceases to be a phone.
This element of competition in capitalism, therefore, is one
example of how the whole is constantly shifting through expansion or reduction.
The essential element is concentrated and this is reflected in its growth or
expansion or in its reduction or decline. Decline is not repulsion it is a
reflection of the essential element that
has been reduced and this can be due to repulsion. The amount or quantity
represents the extent of concentration but the elements that comprise the
entity are continually shifting. The human body is a classic example of
concentration and how it ebbs and flows. We are born quite small but our body
must embrace external elements, such as
food, drink, a certain level of social development, that
assist growth or expansion of our essential selves. Based on biological
precedent we are expected to mature by a particular point but external elements
such as the type of food or progressive social development can shorten or
lengthen the process. When the body matures it cannot grow
significantly beyond a particular point and then external elements that
encouraged expansion now encourage decline because no more additions can be
made for the basis of expansion although
your mass might increase. The accumulator becomes the destroyer because the
core of what you represent can no longer expand in a way that will encourage
growth from a qualitative point of view although the mass can continue to grow until you become obese or your body
becomes prone to disability in the form of diseases or old age ailments. Limits are relative but everyone has a limit
because we are finite beings although our progression collectively as human
beings makes it seem like ‘to infinity and beyond.’ The process cannot be
reversed. There are negative external
elements that can affect you even before you reach the peak of expansion and so
limit the extent that you can reach a certain level of concentration but I am
here focusing on a natural basis of growth because even though these negative
elements might limit your expansion your expansion still only takes place to a
certain point.
Decline of an element that is concentrated due to previous
expansion is a sign of stagnation or an element becoming ossified or fossilized
because there is no more room for expansion. It is a natural movement and does
not necessarily have to do with repulsion because all the parts that were
attracted to the essential element still remain but are no longer an energizing
force. The expansion of a particular element implies the rapid movement that
takes place but as these elements are usually finite they do expire because a
particular form of energy is utilized. Energy is used but it can only be used
to a certain point until it begins to
reduce input and output slows and then the element eventually dies in a
fossilized or ossified state. The utilization of energy is important for the
human body and that energy, representative of movement, will expire and the
addition of external elements cannot halt the decline because the element has
now become so concentrated that it cannot encourage the introduction of new elements
because the basis for expansion was already adopted. Some external elements
might delay the process but cannot reverse the finite state of the essential
element. One must bear in mind that the external elements have a significant
bearing on the functionality of a particular element and so one of the reasons
for the utilization of energy is the
absorption of these external elements that provide the energy that
encourages movement (this just reinforces our mutual dependence on other whole
essential beings).
While some elements add to expansion by providing energy the
increase in the mass of a particular element exerts even more pressure on the
amount of energy that must be utilized by the existing elements. This can
hasten the devaluation of that particular element by concentration in the sense
that the element already exerts more energy than is put into it. The element
has become so dependent on the existing parts that it cannot absorb new parts
into the whole and has reached its limit of expansion. In order to absorb new
parts this requires a certain energy that comes with expansion and the one
element would need the necessary energy and openness in its structure to
embrace the rapidity that comes with expansion. As a finite element, however,
it must reach a point where it can no longer expand. The parts that comprised the whole without
being repelled go through a stage of reduction that eventually leads to death. A certain level of concentration then leads to
the eventual destruction of an element because most elements are finite and
will be destroyed by either external elements that come into violent contact
with it or, internally, by its own natural death. When an element is
concentrated it is more likely to attract destructive elements because in its
ossified state it cannot embrace any new parts. Death, external or internal, is
an example of the finite status of most things.
The Forces of
Diffusion or Repulsion
The forces of diffusion or repulsion are the opposite of
concentration but also emphasize the movement of many entities. I am speaking
about the essential elements. Capitalism is comprised of various elements and
none of those companies can disregard the practice. If they do then they would
be repulsed. Capitalism is driven by the profit motive. So in the real world
when a capitalist leaves the US to go and live in one of the booming Asian
states due to the taxation policies of the US government then that has nothing
to do with capitalism. The element being repulsed is of a national character.
In this case America represents the whole; America as a national entity. There
is a repulsion from the national whole but not the capitalist whole. It is
relative because within capitalism there is also repulsion within the whole. If
you relate it to particular industries then consumers become repelled from a
particular company and then decide to buy from their competitor who attracts them
with their business practice or product offering. In any
case this form of movement involves a movement away from a dominant whole or
the elements that are outside of the dominant whole. The elements outside of
the dominant whole may or may not become attracted to the larger entity where
other elements are concentrated. It is similar to the independent producers
that exist outside of the influence of the dominant corporations who would wish to absorb them
because their product is similar but adds to the diversity. The diversified product of the independent
producer may attract consumers and therefore allow the element to expand and so
be on par with the other dominant corporations that sell the same product in a
particular way. In any case the forces
that encourage repulsion or diffusion suggest that an element that was once
dominant no longer attracts and parts are then removed either smoothly or
violently. This removal of the part(s) from the whole is not necessarily
decline of the previous dominant whole but it can result in the part becoming
its own dominant whole or it may die or suffer as a small element out there in
the wilderness.
The forces that lead to diffusion can be both internal or
external. External elements can lead to the separation of the parts from the
concentrated whole because it disrupts its composition from the outside. This
is normally a very violent or topsy-turvy situation that reveals all the parts
as they are repulsed from the whole, where once they were not visible, with
each part having to account for its existence outside of the dominant whole.
With the disappearance of that external element then it is likely that the
parts will be attracted and become whole once more or they may remain apart. If
they remain apart then the dominant whole will be destroyed or vanish and each
part will be left on its own but considerably weaker than when they were
assembled into the whole. If it’s a case where it is only a few parts that have
been separated or repulsed from the whole then the whole will be able to
recover because its dominant core
element will still be intact and it may still be able to attract new parts to
fill the breaches. If it is a case, however, where the majority of parts that
comprise the whole are removed then it’s more likely that the whole will
disappear particularly as its content no longer suffices to keep it together.
Internal elements may force a diffusion process because the parts move in a
chemically based way that leads to several interactions within the whole that
will then force a separation because of internal combustion unless it is
contained. The moveable parts within the whole are not static unless they
become ossified as the whole element goes through its process of decline. It is
their movement that keeps the whole thriving internally and allows for its
interactions with external elements that then add to the process as they too
become internalized. If this movement cannot be contained, however, then the
parts will naturally break away because one part may become too dominant within
the whole thereby overwhelming the other parts. This part may become the new
whole at the expense of the other parts or the other parts might allow for this growing element to be
repulsed from the whole in order to make it
on its own.
The elements that encourage attraction also encourage
repulsion. There must be something that does not allow for some elements to be
considered attractive or unable to attract in order to become a
concentrated force. An ugly man or an ugly female that is considered repulsive or an anti social character that does not encourage attraction from other parts.
These elements will always remain small because of their inability to attract
or they represent elements that do not represent forces for expansion.
Expansion only occurs when other elements
are attracted to a core element. Those elements that remain in a state
of diffusion are clearly weak and are easily dominated in some cases. If the
one cannot be the many then it will not have a certain level of clout in a
particular space. The planets cannot supersede the sun; the sun cannot supersede the solar system; the solar system is
dwarfed by the galaxy and the galaxies are dwarfed by the size of the universe
or dark matter and dark energy. All of these elements are moving and constantly challenging the
foundations on which we stand. They are not mechanical principles ( I am here
contrasting Hegel’s definition of mechanism with chemism). The elements are
also finite but their movement takes the whole to a particular point and
therefore allows for further expansion because new parts are becoming attracted
to the whole. Without attraction between
several parts within the whole that can encourage their movement and expansion
then static elements that are unable to attract will remain cast out unless
they are able to be mobilized and become forces for attraction. They then
become repulsed by the whole but they are also capable to become their own
wholes. If not then they perish.
Concentration
(Attraction) vs. Diffusion (repulsion)
How does this contradiction manifest itself in the social
sphere? Many people are attracted to the dominant social element in a
particular sphere of human activity. Each social sphere of a particular society,
once it is not monopolized by one particular element, will encourage diversity
and in the real world this is reinforced by competition as each element
attempts to demonstrate why it is the most attractive force. Each element has
to demonstrate why people should support its product, philosophy, its mode of
operation, event or agenda. Success is demonstrated along these lines. Those
elements that are incapable of attracting sufficient interest will remain in a
small state where they are continually repulsed and so incapable of expanding
considerably. The only parts they can attract are parasitic elements because as
a small element it can only convince others through desperate or violent means.
These small elements exist in a state of dire poverty if they are not
successful in attracting sufficient interest. In order to expand a particular
qualitative element has to grow in quantity. It has to grow or concentrate
itself whereby its mass becomes a distinct, dominant social element.
The success of an element cannot be missed in the social
sphere because its mass assumes a dominant position. The
mass is reflective of the increased quantity added to the qualitative element.
As explained before every qualitative element must expand its measure in order
to accommodate the increased quantity. This requires a shift in the qualitative
element which will see the end of the previous qualitative element that
encouraged considerable expansion in a particular direction. If there is no new
measure which will require the creation of a new qualitative element then stagnation
must inevitably set in. This is because all elements are finite by nature. Our
finite selves reach their peak in the form of certain limits. Some elements
have more room for expansion than others and this is because they are much
larger elements and it becomes a matter of being relative in terms of size. The
sun has a life span of several billions of years but it still has a limit. The
sun is required to be a dominant element because it powers the entire solar
system. The earth will shift and change as well and it is clear that certain
elements in the atmosphere can lead to rapid change that will spell destruction.
This can be due to internal eruptions at the core as well as external elements
such as asteroids, an expanding sun that will dissolve many of its parts or
collision with other planets that can be brought about when the Andromeda
galaxy eventually collides with the Milky Way galaxy in which we reside as
earthlings. The high levels of concentration that come with a dominant element
is reflected in stagnation particularly if there is no break away. This
stagnation is reflective of a certain level of fossilization because the parts
of the whole have used up all the necessary energy for maintaining a particular
element. In order for expansion there must be some form of repulsion that will
encourage a new measure to expand the quantity of a previous element. As it
stands in its ossified the state the declining element cannot expand beyond a
particular point because it has reached the limits of expansion. In various
social spheres the people that preside over the once dominant element try to
keep it afloat without embracing new qualitative measures that could expand it
beyond the previous qualitative basis. What once made you great will make you
relatively small. It is a historical fact. When you become small it is always
in comparison to another dominant element that has emerged to usurp or take
control of the particular social sphere in which you reside. This new element
would have benefited from your previous expansion but the new qualitative
element that it brings forth is capable of expanding beyond your limits. One
can see how the United States took the place of Britain in the capitalist
dominated West. The US which was once a colony of Britain has now dwarfed its
former imperial master. China, which is on the rise or a significant expanding
element, will also eventually dwarf the US which is nearing the limits of
expansion. This is evident with so many dominant capitalist firms in the US sending their funds overseas to more
profitable areas where they can exploit the cheaper labour of other
territories and the growing markets.
Some individuals
cannot live with the rise of a new dominant element and this is why morality
tends to encourage stagnation and to reinforce the older version. This is the sphere of
idealism whereby certain principles based on a particular qualitative element
also reinforce the presence of that element in the mind of several individuals
tied to that element such as the workers that work in a particular business.
This idealistic element takes hold even though the qualitative element that is
its primary basis has faded or is in a state of disintegration. It only becomes
apparent that the previous qualitative element is no longer dominant once a
crisis erupts. The crisis shatters the idealistic element that rested primarily
on the principles of a particular qualitative element. In the social sphere a
crisis is a sign of either disintegration or repulsion from the dominant whole.
This repulsion can be violent whereby the several parts within the now dominant
element decide to break off on their own or to supplant the once dominant
element that could not contain the rise of such elements.
The
repulsion also occurs when several parts are repulsed within the whole, meaning that there is a repulsion where by
the parts are no longer connected or endure a period of separation which makes
them ineffective as the parts are more effective due to their interrelatedness
or mutual dependency. This crisis forces
this separation among the parts and reduces their functionality. This is a
process of diffusion where the parts are no longer concentrated in a particular
whole. When a man and woman are in a romantic relationship their concentration is
reflected in their chemical relationship with each other. If they stay together
for a lengthy period, ‘til death do us part’, the chemical connection will
eventually fade and the two will exist on a mechanical basis which are the idealistic
principles, associated with marriage, that reinforced the original qualitative
basis of their relationship even though that basis has dissolved from a
materialist perspective. There are numerous cases where romantic relationships are
forcibly ended due to a crisis that forces a separation of the two that once
comprised the whole.
Repulsion or diffusion is therefore necessary in order to
relieve the pressure that builds when an element becomes too concentrated. The
limit of the extent of concentration is reflected when the element becomes
ossified or fossilized. This means that it, the qualitative element, can no longer expand in terms of quantity.
The qualitative element comes to rely on its pre existing parts because it can
no longer add new parts. If it does add new parts then it is only in small
number because the parts are now attracted to another dominant whole on the
rise that supplanted the previous dominant force. Diffusion or repulsion is
therefore necessary in the social scene because when a particular element
declines through ossification or fossilization then the parts move to a new
dominant whole. It is a natural process. This process takes place in capitalism
whereby the existing capitals in a particular sphere are attracted to a
profitable enterprise and are again diverted once that enterprise is no
longer profitable. The capitals then move to another profitable enterprise or the capitalists hold onto their potential
money capital until a new profitable enterprise or area is located. Diffusion
or repulsion and attraction are mutually dependent features of the movements
that takes place among various elements. The forces of attraction are due to
the rapid expansion that takes place in a particular area whereas repulsion
takes place when the parts can no longer engage with a particular element that is heavily concentrated. An area that is
heavily concentrated limits expansion and thereby denies movement of the many
parts. This creates several bottlenecks and is a reflection of a ossified or
fossilized state because the particular
element attracted too many parts but could not facilitate their movement. This
force of attraction then ends up being a force of repulsion that makes the
parts disperse. These parts may then create a new force of attraction. In order
for an element to be attractive it must exist in a diffused state because this
will make the particular element distinctive because of its particular
activities and this will allow it to be the one that attracts the many. The
ossified or fossilized element can no longer attract effectively because
attraction will be a reflection of obesity which means that the excess cannot be
absorbed and it limits movement.
This contradiction will help to explain why capitalism is
not an eternal system. When Marx made the point it came across as heresy
because it denounced the system. Capitalism has now reached a point in the 21st
century where it exists in an ossified or fossilized state in the advanced
industrial nations. They are still increasing their mass but this excess only
translates into obesity because they do not possess the energy to absorb it. The
large amount of debt is one manifestation of this whereby money becomes an
element onto itself or embodiment of excess when in fact money should be a
reflection of the state of production. Without an increasing population to
absorb and generate new use values to be exchanged in the market as commodities
then this mass of money will eventually become unbearable. This money will have to be repulsed because
it cannot be utilized effectively in the advanced capitalist nations such as
the US and the Eurozone. Capitalism relies on the exploitation of wage labour.
Wage labour produces the surplus value/unpaid labour time that lays the basis
for rapid expansion in the form of profit generation. This element of profit
lays the basis for an increase in the mass of capital but there is the tendency
for the rate of profit to fall when the increase in the cost of constant
capital (raw materials, machinery etc) outstrips the existing wage labour
force.
This fall in the profit rate is a reflection of the growth in the mass
of capital that is being accumulated in the form of means of production which
must be utilized in the sphere of production by a relatively declining wage
labour force (as marx explained in Vol. 3 it is relative because there is
normally an absolute increase in the population numbers that accompanies rapid
expansion of a society) in order to produce ever more commodities for sale in
the market. This relative decline in the wage labour force leads to a repulsion
of the workers because they have been devalued
by the introduction of technology that absorbs their increasing levels of productivity. This technology means that one man can now do the work of 2, 000.
The 2, 000 are then cast out and maybe then attracted to another expanding
element that requires labour. Most small businesses are labour intensive
because the technical basis has not developed whereby it would have been able to absorb high labour
productivity. High labour productivity from the wage labour force represents
the movement that takes place within the whole of a particular industry or a
particular business in that industry. The
proletariat or working class are the moveable elements within the capitalist
system and become the basis for its expansion and eventual concentration which
lies in a state of ossification or fossilization. The repulsion of the working
class from capital will eventually lead to the creation of a new element
dominated by the working class whose numbers will only continue to grow once
the peasant based economies that still exist throughout the world disintegrate and capital takes over. This
lays the basis for a system that puts the workers at the forefront because
their numbers will form a whole too large to be absorbed by capitalism. If the formation
of the large working class numbers by 2100 does not lead to a radical change of
capitalism it will lead to a barbaric type of civilization which is festering
because then- with the growth in the technologically based means of production
which will be operated primarily by A.I-then there will be many people existing
like parasites/criminals or in a state of abominable poverty. If people ignore
new ways of operation in favour of the commodity fetish or the right price then
the system will implode or it will take a massive crisis, an Armageddon type of
crisis to force a change. If anyone thinks the crisis of 2008/9 was anything
then it’s too bad they will not be around for the massive crisis of 2200 when
the world economy will be worth US (or bitcoin)$300-400 trillion (conservative
estimate) if capitalism is still around. Crises of capitalism can only get
worse as the mass of capitalism expands. The mass will still grow and I wonder
if bourgeois economists have not confused mass with real growth in some
quarters.
Real growth or expansion of capitalism only occurs once
commodities are sold in the market which means the value of a product is
realized. The mass of capitalism can grow from the production side yet growth
stagnates because there is no sale. A capitalist can have his workforce produce
as many commodities, unique to that particular business, as possible and it
will increase the mass of his business because the business is held together by
credit or the expectation of sale. The production side or the mass still grows
yet the goods are rotting on the shelves
or remain inactive in the hands of the distributors in the commercial
sphere that are responsible for selling. It becomes an idealistic element
because the principles of production have not been met by the constant movement
taking place in the sphere of consumption. This is when a crisis smashes the
business or makes significant inroads that force the company to alter its
strategy to target consumers. The business, if it still exists after the
crisis, will not be the same company following the crisis. It would have to
adopt a new qualitative model in order to increase sales beyond the previous
measure. I have noticed that some analysts look at the production side and
register it as a sign of growth when in fact it is just an increase in the mass
of the element that is responsible for the production of this particular
commodity. In order for the company to be in a position to increase its mass
then it must have a history of expansion which allowed it to be a dominant
social element. Its mass grows to a point where it dominates the market. When
it dominates the market then it can reach a point where there are no new parts
or consumers that can valorize it thereby adding to expansion although there
are recurring sales in the pre existing market. These companies have to seek new
markets or their mass will increase (due to the the markets that it originally
used for expansion) but there will be no real expansion of the qualitative
element. Capitalism will reach it's absolute limit when all markets have been
exhausted. There is so much expectation on the side of
these analyses. Expectations that do not learn to expect the unexpected.
Expectations are an idealistic element.
In any case this ends my discussion on the forces of
attraction that lead to concentration and the forces of repulsion that lead to
diffusion. Both forces are mutually exclusive yet mutually dependent in order
to provide some measure of balance to forces that lead to a high level of
concentration that leads to ossification or fossilization or a state of
diffusion that leads to extreme isolation. For those that will read the post,
which I don’t expect to be many, this blog post is just another in a series that
explains my thought processes or how I analyse certain elements and the parts
that comprise them.
