RT @via_benjamin: Gibson argues we perceive directly the meaning of the world for us. The richest meaning Alexander calls “Life”. Life arises from the harmony of forces acting in a particular place to create a whole. I think we perceive Life when we act as part of the whole that generates it. https://twitter.com/TheSideViewCo/status/1480942850342723585

RT @evolvingcalm: “When we experience life in Alexander’s sense, the world meets our capabilities where they are, and our capabilities are far from covering the scope of the world. In the former we are managing; in the latter we are dancing.” https://twitter.com/thesideviewco/status/1480942964784316416
