Structures are like gods. Like gods, they are arbitrary and necessary.
Content is the loss of form in its expression. It is so easy to imagine a different one, like countries without borders. And I would be restructured too, as an extension, a sensemaking of the structures of life. So the gods are not worshipped, but practiced.
They are not an object, but a part of me, in the same way that walls, doorways and arches structure a room. I become the room, and find others too, who have become their rooms, and so can create more rooms.
Are we gods then? No, we are reliant on them, they give us form, and we give them content. In that content we infer our content to fill our form, the empty reflection.
