Thomas Willemen, Control Grid

“One might go so far as to postulate a need for structure. .. Without such an ability survival itself would in most cases be rendered impossible or at least markedly impaired. Concepts contribute to this assessment of the world; indeed, they are perhaps the sole embodiment of it. As such, they provide one with a means of fate control, a vehicle through which some sort of adaptive equilibrium is maintained between the inside and outside.”
