exp2- the Edge

The hole cut in the centre along with the breaks in the ramp are suggestive of the destructiveness of computer viruses which aim to overtake control systems at the core and wipe out all. The goodness ironically lies in the fact that they are in some sense a form of life, if not biological.




Mysticism...a "hard word" is replicated through a challenging obstacle to get to the "Kingdom of Heaven...within". Yet being mystical , such a place can never truly be apprehended, no doubt reached and so there comes a degree of difficulty and imposibility.


The stream of light creeping out of an exterior of darkness is what shall be called Mysticism. Light representing hope in indicative of the heavens and of the thought to seek goodness within.

The Ramp

The ramps proposed for both are rather a make up of series of fragmented steps in some cases joined but in overall terms broken. Hawking deals with life in the context of computer viruses where their destructive nature eats away the materialistic aspects. Whereas Nightingale talks of the heavens. Mysticism is of spiritual apprehension of truths beyond understanding and so is in some sense broken beyond reach.

"It is human nature that we seek the good within. Thus I think computer viruses should count as life though purely destructive yet [w]e have created life in our own image. What we seek is Mysticism. Is it not a hard world for the Kingdom of Heaven is within?"

Florence Nightingale (1820-1910)

"For what is Mysticism?... Is it not merely a hard word for 'The Kingdom of Heaven...within'?" [Florence Nightingale, 1873]

Stephen Hawking

“I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.”
