Paolo Soleri's Glossary of Terms |
Miniaturization, M
Miniaturization is the progressive
reduction of the physical dimension of an event favoring a
tighter performance among contiguous events. The mass-energy,
spacetime savings is locally critical
and such frugality rebounds throughout
reality. Via miniaturization the impossible
becomes possible.
This makes Miniaturization the "physical
side" of Complexity without which
Complexity cannot hold; a content, Complexity, in search of
a container Miniaturization. By this miniaturization-complexification
operation a threshold can be reached where matter becomes
life and knowledge.
The nature of Complexity demands
the rigorous utilization of all resources- mass-energy and
spacetime, for example. Therefore, whenever Complexity is
at work, Miniaturization is mandated and a part of the process.
