“leave the city behind”

an escape.

Shadows

assuming one has a home

an escape means an entrance

all of this reduces down to the comparative paradox of knowing something through something else of which the paradox is a part, for a paradox depends on two things, and the other thing cannot be formed until it has been met and challenged with force against the original thing from which the paradox derives. It is a derivational system where elementary levels of objects form from even more elementary levels of objects, the most foundational being the basic elements and relations.

the home that is designed as a copy nature is neither a home nor nature, but an image through which the “home” or nature finds its likeness–that is, the home as nature–a natural home. The house itself then, is not really a house, but a statement of what we wish it to become. So, we find the likeness of nature within our homes when it is really the reverse; nature finds its likeness in our homes. This is due to the order in which the secondary element of the paradox comes, and by virtue of being second (last) of a constitutional system, it finds itself being the first of a new level of synthesis, of the product of a higher level of paradox, of objects, in which the likeness of the first, elementary level of paradox is taken as the second and so on.
