On The Origin of The Containment Entity - 7

The artwork of Celeste Roberge

I. Background

In the second post of this series artist Celeste Roberge was featured (Fig. 1).

What if the rocks contained in the wired containment entities she uses were composed of Romania’s Enigmatic Trovants?

One response to that question might be "how do we know that they are not Trovants?", but perhaps a more fitting response might be a discussion of emergence of the often used containment concepts of  "over the line", "over the top", and/or "out of bounds". 

Notice that we are moving into the realm of "hidden in plain sight", in that, we are using a portion of our cultural nomenclature that has itself been shaped by the concept of boundaries composed of "lines" emerging from a subconscious geometry.

Yes, now I have injected intellectual, cognitive, and shall we say cultural containment entities into the containment entity "mystery".

But, it really is no mystery that cultural containment entities exist (The Pillars of Knowledge: Faith and Trust?; On the Origin of Cultural Epigenetics).

But again, like the unseen gravity containment entity, we generally don't focus on the entity itself, instead we focus on what the containment entity "shapes".

Even our intellectual, emotional, political, religious, and scientific makeup is shaped by containment entities.

But I digress.

(We have a proclivity to focus on the shape while ignoring the source of the shape.)

Brainy Containment Entities
II. The Most Abundant
Containment Entity Is ...

In a previous post we noted that the most abundant component of atoms is space (Just How Small Is An Atom).

Even the containment entity "gravity", which "shapes" planets, stars, and galaxies, exists within the most abundant containment entity "SPACE".

Invisible, ubiquitous, and enigmatic, "space" is all around and within "everything".

III. Closing Comments

So, let's not bicker, instead let's make our contemplation even more enigmatic by asking "does a containment entity for a non-living entity, such as a Trovant, have to be non-living, and does a containment entity for a living entity have to be alive?"

The next post in this series is here, the previous post in this series is here.
