All is Sound, Sign and Symbol
The following are prefabricated, ordered, sequential, sounds, signs and symbols producing variety and non-sequential repetition, Chaos.
Inputs are environmental energy
Outputs are environmental energy converted to sounds and movement.
Ordered sounds are alphabets.
Alphabets are descriptions of the world in Words.
Words are alphabets.
Books are dictionaries.
Thesauruses are disordered books.
Loci.
Lines are loci extensions
Surfaces are connected lines.
Colour is an invert of its true nature.
Environment.
Life is energy.
Language is metaphor.
Combining and cataloguing all the prefabricated, metaphors, order and repetition, sounds, signs and symbols, variety and Chaos of the Universe is the task of human beings since they are the only life form to have identified its existence.
Architecture is a method of combining and cataloguing, metaphor used by Humans that self checks its own context.
The prefabricated, ordered, sequential, sounds, signs and symbols producing variety and non-sequential repetition, chaos cannot be collected over infinity due to the duration of each human lifetime.
They are collected over each century.
They are retained intact for a limited time and then dissected and recycled to justify the current context and the prestige of the re-user.
Architecture changes due to the end of the human communication in the age in which it is created, then due to the new context of the age in which it is recycled as justification for the prestige of the re-user, then finally as reference in remnants and artifacts awaiting new archeology and sciences to re-invent it.
