Flockulant Elements
Elements that migrate even through other solid areas.
As I wrote in a poem once: "In silence grow the elements that wrestle thus
with time -- the eventful and the eloquence of velvet and sublime -- where grows
the lily of the field in metamorphic speech, to tell the kings that will not
yield where value thus doeth meet. No robes of opulence are like the blossom
which all see, while in this world they trek a pike that wends eternally."
We're so used to containers. We're so used to things being contained that we
fail to realize that we are in a very fluid and dynamic world. The very solids
themselves can also in some way be subject to displacement, replacement and
other forms of movement or transportation within, among, around and even through
the lattices of other solids.
It would be very interesting to set up experiments like this in which
something contained in a glass beaker could be made to move through the glass to
the outside of said beaker by the placing of some substance in the location of
its destination. The rudimentary experiments would establish perhaps the
physics of the properties of the connectivity between the substance to
flocculate and it's attractor.
It may be surmised that every
situation between the flocculant and it's attractor is a form of connectivity
even if it portends resistance or containence. Arguably in an instance of
containence transpirancy, for the time the flocculant is transpiring through the
substance of the container or barrier, it becomes a part of the substance of the
barrier, or an aspect of the consistency of it's aggregate, even though it is in
a state of motion. One may point to an aggregate and insist that it is
static when in fact it may be moving in geologic time. In such cases, it
may be possible to accelerate or decelerate the transpiration of a flocculant
through the aggregate of a barrier. This has a myriad of applications and
uses and can tend to eliminate the encumbrance of mechanization.
This was a concept I had even as a boy, or at least one aspect of it: The use of crystalisis in architecture.
The nature of chemistry and what we have recorded as our cute little periodic
table of the elements goes far beyond anything we can even understand or
construe. Our role as intelligent beings with the gift of motility is that we
can actually bring certain elements into play using our memory, our studies, and
our data from our research, and quite often many other qualities such as
intuition.
But you cut-and-slash boys in your back rooms messing around with your toxicity
-- you've got the wrong concept there with your chemistry. You haven't even
touched on the possibilities of the nature of the actual total concept of true chemistry or
advanced human science.
I mean all this time when you've been messing around with
complex chain molecules and your infatuation with halogens, phenyls,
formaldehydes and so on and so forth on and on they go -- you've had right
before you, all around your environment, weeds growing right out of the concrete
cracks, trees growing out of the soil, and even in your basic studies, a
primitive knowledge of crystalisis itself, and also the reaction of elements and
molecules with each other which really is the basis of chemistry, not the plunking
of tricky little elementary school-days chemistry-set chemicals into caustic
solutions. You thought organic chemistry was for the other guys -- a completely different branch of
chemistry for the greenies with their heads in the clouds, but in one sense it actually is a reliable example of the migration
of elements.
OK , here's a hypothetical principle of Flockulant Attractions: an element or
molecule can, under certain circumstances, exhibit or undertake the tendency to
migrate through a solid, a mixture, a colloid, a solution, any range of barriers
including those of liquid, gas or even through the
void of outer space and over appreciable distance when attracted by the right
combination of chemicals or molecules situated in the location of its
attraction. This is the principle of organic molecules performing a function
within a cell or migrations of elements at a given distance from a follicle such as a root hair or
monocellular
fibers extending from a micro root hair.
Now back to the drawing board, kids. And let's come up with something
interesting this time. I mean, you may find out that all of these Flockulant
Migrants and their attracters are totally non-toxic, unless, of course, the
organic molecule is something indigenous to Titan.
