"the fundamental complexity of the recognizable"
"anything stable and enduring--or, indeed, iterable--enough to be recognized is bound to be complex"
"Plato thought that stability was a simple notion, related to the good and the beautiful. I say, rather, stability is always a matter of complexity"
"Anything that is stable must be involved in a complex of interchanging relationships--physical, electrochemical, mechanical, economic, social, psychological, or discursive--within the complex of the greater system in which it's embedded. Otherwise it would simply be destroyed"
"We're only beginning to realize what an incredibly complex system what scientists heretofore have called 'nothing' is: that is to say, 'pure' 'empty' vacuum" (67)
