INTERTWINED: A meditation on connectedness

IMAGE:  8 ellipsoids that form an octogon around a central radiant point.

Tim:    (gazing at the image) At times I think mathematics is the highest form of beauty.

Miok:    Indeed. Isn't all music, poetry, and art an elegant mathematical calculation?

Cantara: I wish things were that clean and symmetrical. Entropy is everywhere and a degree 
         of randomness seems inevitable.

Chris:   Strange as it seems, randomness contains order and seemingly "perfect order" has some 
         randomness. What I'd like to know is why this image resembles Bratwurst . . .

Tim:     Well, perhaps some a previous lifetime you were German? For some strange reason, that's 
         what you see. Other people will see different things.

Miok:    (mischievously) I, for example, see a partial Dyson sphere with a series prolate ellipsoids 
         in a circular orbit around a neutron star. Well, does that mean I was an alien in a previous lifetime?
