I am interested in systems.

Systems are designed to lead to a desirable result.

When a system works it provides a sense of control and security.

If the system is improperly realized the result will deviate from the plan.


Sometimes I dream of creating a system so perfect that no deviation is possible.

This system I pursue beyond its limits.

In the breakdown anything can happen.
