The Abstract Observer

"The principle of beings is The Boundless (ἄπειρον), where things have both their Origin and Extinction according to Necessity; each one does Justice and compensation to the others for its own Wrong, in conformity with the Ordinance of Time".

This is the oldest surviving fragment of all Western philosophy, from the thought of the greek philosopher Anaximander. In his view, guilt is not a whisper of conscience, but a tremor in the fabric of the world. From the ἄπειρον — the boundless womb of all — every single thing rises, swelling beyond its measure, claiming more sky than it is owed. In that excess lies injustice, and time itself becomes the judge.
In the end each force yields, recedes, dissolves. All return to the silent, infinite source. Guilt is simply the wound of imbalance; justice, the quiet breathing of the cosmos made whole again.

This work is strongly inspired by these ideas:

▪ Origin is a wave, it is a crack in space and time, it's the desire of the individual who leans towards the world.
▪ This breaking of order is a Wrong to the unitary nature of reality. The barbarity of the multitude and the trauma of detachment appear.
▪ This offense demands Justice. However much grace one can express in being in the world, leaving The Boundless means creating otherness, division, difference. We will still be drawn back to the indefinite.
▪ As senseless as it may seem, all of this is a Necessity. It is the inescapable and labyrinthine course of existence that leads us back to the origin.
▪ This path is measured by The Ordinance of Time. It ensures that no dominance endures, that every force answers for its surge. No one can keep up with time.
▪ Extinction - then - is no tragedy, but the completion of the journey back to the Boundless.
