This is NOT just a beautiful rendering of the Sierpinski Triangle.  This is a picture-statement about the state of our world–encompassing everything from the population explosion to programs for a sustainable future. Metaphorm It!Â

Solitude. Song birds that treat us to real tweets. Unplugged technology. The ace of Peace.
Shitennoji Honbo garden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_garden)
In a Zen Rock Garden, “peace” is not an abstract concept any more than “chaos” is. Both phenomena coexist in some curious confluence of “being and becoming” at any given moment either peaceful or chaotic, or peacefully chaotic. Both are as pleasantly stimulating as the creative process itself. Imagine if we learned to flow with the chaos of everyday life as calmly as caring for this peaceful Garden of Indescribable Delights! Imagine how different our world would be, as we absorbed the life lessons of this ever-inspiring, natural learning environment & ageless teacher.
What’s the purpose of connecting everything with everything — other than the challenge?
Imagine being able to connect everything you experience with another human beings’ life experiences, whatever they are and from whatever period in history they occurred, or may occur.  Imagine how this continuous act of connection-making can improve human communication.  Imagine how it could help us create together a sustainable future, enabling everyone to understand one another better and remain connected through a shared vision of our collective future.
That’s what the ArtScience process does with imagination: It links and integrates all fields of knowldge, professions and endeavors to improve communication by fostering understanding. That’s why it’s essential for advancing human knowledge and its applications to building and strengthening civil society.

Metaphorms connect everything, and communicate everything through their connections.
They are much more than “forms of metaphor.” Metaphorms embody ALL forms and expressions of connection-making tools we’ve invented and innovated over eons. We use them daily to communicate our thoughts, feelings, emotions, opinions, ideas, knowledge, wisdom, and experiences. They are core to the universal vocabulary of words, images, structures, symbolisms, sounds, and motions we do to express ourselves in every way imaginable and towards every purpose.

What does The Ring of Truth sound like? Does it sound the same in Art as it does in Science? Is there a distinct, unmistakable sound of truth that everyone can hear, regardless of culture or context?  Is it visual? sensual? mathematical? audible? touchable? Can it be experienced by all of our physical senses? Does the sound ever change, or grow in intensity? Is “intuition” part of the sound? How do we know for certain?Â
When you adventure into these two exceptional books, which draw you into the heart of the discovery process, you’ll learn many new ways of knowing the world — and, knowing how you know that what you’ve experienced is true!
