Thanks for all these various sources, Christopher. I will be doing a talk tomorrow for my Haptic show. And some of this stuff will be helpful- I especially like the part about 'borders' which helps me explain the elastic margins in my drawings.Those 'force fields' are operative and impact the margins of the drawings from all sides. And why -tho I do it all the time - I find firm 'just left' margins in a poems to be at odds with the 'ragged' right margins. "Justified left' may be best for certain kinds of discourse, but misleading when for the organic or fluid borders of the poem as an 'object'.
I suggest reading Lucretius as a person early on into atoms and how they effect structures and human behavior, including the afterlife of images.

Another interesting science article.

So while your 'reality' tells you that you are sitting in your chair
right now as you are reading this, reality at the subatomic level means
that you are not really sitting in your chair – thanks to the repulsion
of your and the chair's electrons you are actually floating on it at a
height of a fraction of a nanometer.

I like this article since it says I am basically correct in my
(mis)reading of Kant's sublime. Inside the sublime, at molecular levels
of perception, it may appear as disparately separated and discreet
bodies going off in opposite directions. What is really happening is
continuous force fields in infinite dimensions. This can be mapped as a
one dimensional line with the law of the excluded middle in classical
logic no longer being applied and what appears to be a line is also
appearing to be a three dimensional object in an open spatial field.
Force as a bordering affect which is the percept that sees and feels the
object. Haptic is also a border force. best wishes, Chris Jones.
