----------empyre- soft-skinned space----------------------
Just a quick comment on trees and hierarchies, vertical space doesn’t
necessarily imply hierarchy. A tree’s canopy, for example is at least as
important to its survival as its roots and all the interconnected mycellae of
its underground networks. I would suggest a more realistic conceptualization of
these spatial relationships would be to consider permaculture- in which each
spatial layer is equally important and all are interconnected. Further more, it
might be considered that any trees’ role is grounded in watershed dynamics, the
atmosphere, soil, food webs, etc. Even a sentinel tree is only an artifact of
these much larger relationships. Re: rehearsals for a network and other
systems, it might be interesting to consider about the sentinel tree, that what
is obvious may not be what’s important to pay attention to. The corollary in
present politics is that the strong man may not be the real danger. It is the
followers of the strong man and why they follow.
