We can now input any question and the formula will give us the answer. Except that we have not considered love or pain. If we do not feel wholeness within, how can we perceive wholeness without?? We seek, and we seek, for wholeness: from sexual union to marriage to community to world to God. We seek to build the bridges that unite the whole; the bridges that bring everything into harmony...just as the colors of the spectrum are both one and many. If we are affected by the hurt or death of those we know and love, it is an arbitrary focus. Why should we consider the pain or death of others any differently?? What are we investing in (one or some), that we refuse to invest in all??? It just doesn't make sense for you to value Jill, and me to value Jane, and nobody values Jennifer. Like The Jerk said: I'd just be happy to be in there somewhere...

Perfect, complexity is simple. So now we have the purpose, HARMONY Now we have the formula, ACTION + REACTION = HARMONY ( or maybe it is ACTION/REACTION = HARMONY) We can now input any question and the formula will give us the answer Basically, you're right (I think). But that doesn't absolutely explicate things for the thread, or for the world (so we can't quit). Also, harmony requires chaos. All balance requires something (or someone) at opposite ends of the rope. Or what would happen? The dance between eternal opposites... Back to business...I don't know if action/reaction necessarily equals harmony. Rather, it is equilibrium (or balance), of energy forces. I think that harmony involves a higher idea of congruent forces. Balance is an expression of the LAW, and must always exist. Harmony (at least from a human perpective) generally requires a congruency of forces, which (within the human perameters of perception), requires the addition of rational thought and action. Certainly, harmony exists at different levels within and without the human experience, but what a particular human will conceptualize as a congruent arrangement of parts...would be particular to that person. For instance, a 17 digit repeating number is harmonious to someone perceiving that arrangement, but chaotic to someone not able to see the congruency. Harmony is ultimately based on the mathematical congruency of the Universe (I think); But within that framework--humans make subjective errors...
