In thinking about the meaning and significance of the oil and
water interaction patterns, one is struck by the importance of collaboration.
Collaboration with their natural self-organization is required to produce them,
a responsive relationship with them is necessary to perceive them, and the oil
and water interaction patterns both enlighten and are illuminated by our concepts
and perspectives as we think about them. Perhaps collaboration is also
basic to experiencing other entities, both natural and man-made? To learn
more, we need to collaborate with nature's agenda rather than expecting nature
to collaborate with our own and only answer our questions. The pieces
below present oil and water interaction patterns in various situations involving
natural, man-made and collaborative elements. By experiencing the
perspectives these components provide for each other, hopefully we can get a
deeper sense of how we and the natural earth collaborate as we bring forth our
world together.

Despite the simplicity of the growth process, we do not have a theory for DLA. Detail. The probability that a perimeter site will be visited by a diffusing particle is proportional to the flux at that site. Since the growth velocity, which obeys the continuity equation, is also proportional to the visitation probability and to the flux at the site, the steady-state diffusion equation follows. 20"x16".
