Strands of VN's indicators often lead me along James Burke's TV series "Connections" ( as erudite, amazing and amusing voyages as Sklyarenko's).
After V.Alexander's article, when reading AS's synthesis today (in which he emphasizes diverse "patriarchs" and the worlds they founded), I discerned something else.
Some of the patterns that VN suggests through allusions, insertions and hidden references might also be an escape from the traditional frame of the scientific and academic quouttions. They may be recreating superpositions, something similar to what we find in... animal-vegetal mimicry (!) shining through the mind of a very designing Author-Deity-Patriarch.
Biblical paradises, Milton, Newton, Swinburne and the Shattal tree... From butterflies onto flaws and flowers or "a chance that mimics choice"?
