1. In a world without repetition, nothingness prevails.
2. Repetition has always been more useful than originality.
3. A single act accomplishes little.
4.Ambulatory creatures require the easily reproducible footstep in order to survive.
5. Sedentary creatures require the enduring recurrence of seasonal weather patterns in order to survive.
6. The construct called civilization requires the construct called originality in order to survive.
7. As this civilization has succeeded to dominate the planet, so the illusion of originality has obtained unwarranted reverence by the inhabitors of this civilization.
8. Is humankind responsible for the construct called civilization? who can rightfully sign their name upon this supposed work of art? Is civilization an act of creativity - mankind's magnum opus? A work of art, or merely a work... 9. Or is God responsible. Has planet earth endured only because it has been (is being) preserved in some divine galactic museum?
10. Preservation is a mundane ritual.
11. The maintenance of civilization is a tiresome task.
12. In order to create, many repetitive motions must be performed and endured.
13. And so a highly productive civilized society must embrace, endure, and enforce much repetition.
14. Yet as the repetition increases, the appearance of nothingness again prevails.
15. Originality, therefore, is everythingness, immediately followed by nothingness.
16. Reproduction, therefore, is the simultaneous maintenance of both everythingness and nothingness.
