        could you speak more about this? i'm wondering how you see F. relevant
to these conversations? are you speaking of emergence in particular?

        do you mean that the mapping process is more rigorous - disciplined -
than - but here, i don't know what you mean by "playing" ......

The English noun "identity" comes, ultimately, from the
Latin adverb "identidem", which means "repeatedly."
The Latin has exactly the same rhythm as the English,
buh-BUM-buh-BUM - a simple iamb, repeated; and
"identidem" is, in fact, nothing more than a
reduplication of the word "idem", "the same":
"idem(et)idem". "Same(and) same". The same,
repeated. It is a word that does exactly what
it means.

                          from "The Elusive Embrace" by Daniel
Mendelsohn.
