Geometric Symphony

"...for everything here is flowing, movement, the concentrated, goal-oriented movement. We observe a crumb of process, the trembling of a single string in a symphony orchestra of super-giants, and not content with that, we know—but we only know without comprehending—that simultaneously above and below us, in stretched abysses, beyond the limits of our sight and imagination, vast, millions of simultaneous transformations are taking place, like notes bound together by mathematical counterpoint. Hence, someone has spoken of a 'geometric symphony.' But in this case, we are its deaf listeners." Stanisław Lem, Solaris, 1961
