Certainly works in Quantum Theory, and even better, I suspect, in Humans Theory. At a very practical level as this relates to Open Space (as in event) exclusive focus on the individuals, their words and behaviors, can lead to mind-boggling confusion. Personally, I just can't think the detail and complexity. However, if you look, feel, hear the full field perceived as flow or a dance it all starts to make sense. Further, when you do engage individuals in their uniqueness, my experience is that the connection is deeper and more meaningful, even if it is only fleeting - for they are engaged in context.

You are right that I am talking only about the physical TV set. And my comment that "perhaps I understand" was related to the sort of quotes that you gave. Of course, in one sense, "humans never die". Buried or cremated, they change form, and in some way, feed the new cycle of life. But does not there need to be a difference bertween the way we "treat" living systems vs "non-living" systems? For instance, do we give more respect to "non-living" weapons systems or to living "human systems"?
