We are talking about highly complexly organised systems in continuous flux which show a centripetally organised structure feeding into itself almost as an oscillatory system which by its own activity may be said to go 'live'. Indivduality is a function of our language and the framework of our culture and its in-forming of ourselves. Though it is regarded within our language system as being outside us it is really part of us. We are open systems without real boundaries between us and the world. It is a natural function of the brain to be generative.
Animation is produced from generative processes both of concepts and visual manifestations.
Culture is a construction made out of individuals, history and ideas.
