Evolutionary creativity always renders invalid the "law
of large numbers" and acts in an elitist way.



-Erich Jantsch

The Self-Organizing Universe



At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;

Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,

But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,

Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor
towards,

Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,

There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.



-T. S. Eliot

PROLOGUE

HANOVER, NEW HAMPSHIRE, EARTH

17 FEBRUARY 2113



the proverbial february thaw did not materialize for the 203rd
annual Dartmouth Winter Carnival, and the temperature was around
-10° Celsius when Uncle Rogi Remillard emerged from the
sanctuary of the Peter Christian Tavern into a blustery, festive
night. Cheered by a late supper of turkey-apple soup and a
Vermont cheddar omelette, not to mention a liberal intake of spirits,
he was damned if he would let the Family Ghost keep him from the
fireworks display. The thing couldn't possibly do anything blatant in
the midst of such a mob.
