A remark on Li and Chi. Food for thought.
In the West we know what ''Chi'' means. Imagine how it felt to discover an added organizing principle. "Li", misty and dreamy.
What is Li: There is a unifying organizational principle within nature. That principle has been resisted by Western science, but the Confucian Chinese "Li" informs us that Nature is a set of organizing principles, rather than Nature seen as “mathematical "laws".
These networks are special in the sense that they are formed
through "preferential attachment". This means that one pattern
will connect to another pattern only if it wants to do so.
Be as it is, art is all
