To describe a system means basically to construct a new one. Visualisations of flocking birds inhabit the sphere, surrounding the centre point. An imaginary winding thread is left in the bird's wake.

The observer, intrigued, approaches and triggers thoughts and poems. But these poems about flight will hide the birds, the very flight – and its own particular poetry. The observer can't change the system – the birds will always come back...

"Go, go, go, said the bird; human kind cannot bear very much reality." (T.S. Eliot)
