The topic I find most fascinating out of the two readings is the concept of fusion. In "Horizons," fusion is confined to the acts of humans and out own strive for progression.
I would like to take this fusion to the absolute broadest horizon, to the simple rules that all matter, all life, and all ideas must succumb to: physics. Physics has tried to explain the universe in its most simple terms, and attempts to unify all laws of physics in to one universal law known as a "Theory of everything." Two popular theories exist, but it is almost certain that at matter acts in the same way. All matter expands and contracts, and as it expands, new structures are formed. If this structure is stable, it will continue to exist, for example, carbon under extreme pressure forms diamonds, the hardest material on earth. Life is matter, so it behaves in the same way. Survival of the fittest is merely a property of matter, life itself holds no magic that differentiates itself from the rest of the universe. Ideas are merely products of electrical input from the environment, and relay back and forth in the brain until something new is formed.
If structures, life, and ideas are efficient, strong, or significant, they will remain and continue to evolve. This brings us to the ideas of diffusion. As universe moves along its course, there is no expansion without convergence. As the universe expands, matter will become less and less dense, eventually stretching to its limit. As humans on earth continue to co-mingle with our "desire to fuse," beneficial genes will stay until there is a single uniform product, fully evolved. Everything, in the end will become one. True progressiveness, this idea, must encompass all knowledge, specific and liminal. To limit oneself to ambiguousity, is digressive in my opinion.
