Open Letter To The IIST

1.
One does no favors to the "infinitely small thing" by making it monumental--honor it by making it part of a landscape's legitimate physics (functionalizing it as a part in a machined assembly, or 'storicizing it as a narrative player).

2.
To increase a screw, then, do not blow it up to 6 feet--draw a diagram of its workaday action (repose in a mouldering box; cycloid patterns when kicked on the street; suitable locations for its use in the writer's home).

3.
A particular is never straightforward--contrary to geometry, only tight convolutions can join to build a working simplicity.
