butterfly effects, tiny wings, chains of events, linked lists to infinity and beyond, true random and connected variations between seemingly unrelated entities, tied, strung out among space and time, the causal, the reasons, the reactions and steps, escalators or elevators, the lines and vectors, the points on a circle, shortcuts, chords vs diameters, but the littlest things. layers upon layers, an onion, a shallot, smaller and more pungent, more flavorful, concentrated, concise, compact and developed. a fractal. representative of the greater, zoom out, and see more of the same. the littlest thing becomes the biggest thing, is the biggest thing, is a window, to a picture of the building, to the architect's blueprints, and thus see, through a fragment, the whole.
