"The law of the least action ... is a universal principle from which all other principles naturally flow" — Pierre de Maupertuis, 1750" "The very same forces that "member" us, that place our heart and lungs and liver in relation to one another, that "organ"ize us into a decidedly human form, are now released to re-member, and to "organize" our life of memory." —Eugene Schwartz, quoting Rudolf Steiner "The living organism represents, or occupies, a field of force which is never simple, and which as a rule is of immense complexity." —D'Arcy Thompson (1917) "Possibly the people who are trying to discover how to set up a computer to learn to play good chess, or bridge, are among those most likely to make a major contribution to the fundamental theory of evolution." —Conrad Waddington (1968)
