The composition of Laver’s fluid encounters can be seen to echo out across the breadth of reality. These nonlinear formations expose an underlying habit in the structural behavior of matter, and the diverse range of their material occurrence has inspired a broad range of elds into the study of complexity. Their theories call upon such formations to explain the self-organizing behavior that builds fungal networks, waterways, the veining of blood throughout your body, and other systems of material passage and exchange that facilitate life. However, they also speak to the patterns of movement in systems that withdraw from access.Those systems that step away from our ability to perceive due to the momentary blip of existence we have, within the vast reach of their operation. Here, these nonlinear structures have been used to explain the distribution of crime hotspots in cities, the outbreak of u epidemics, uctuations of economy, or the dispersal of information and ideas. The systems appear insubstantial, their spatial patternings hard to point to, or hold complete in the mind. But, though their passages will not hold a shape for our inspection, they are no less real. We are snared in their causality, shaped by it. We feel their effects. See them in shadows; they throw up across the walls.
