But what of computing? That's a matter clocks and of numbers and of
measurement as all. But no, not when microtechnical. There is something

as well. The interesting question now is how to use the power that
smallness/largeness brings while regaining the realities that were lost
when the body and the mind were cut apart to reach so far. As in the atomic
bomb. And as in torture, perhaps. There is an absence of love.
