Didn't have time to read any of the articles here (yet), but it reminds me something of computer science. There is a method to make computers imagine stuff. This happen in digital neuronic networks, via destroying digital neurons-which makes the computers make up stuff that wasn't there before. So, if destruction leads to creation, what could distortion lead us to?
