: In a way I do, Steve. The part about just
: "watching the comings and goings down

We miscommunicated, Nina. :)
By 'objectively' I mean from the perspective of the dao. 'Wires,' my attempt to illustrate what 'from the perspective of the dao' might look like.
From the perspective of the dao it seems to me everything looks fine. No out-of-syncness anywhere. Same old same old. Business as usual.
A lot of 'this' morphing into 'that.' Beauty into ugliness. Ugliness into beauty. Love into hate. Hate into love.
Now stepping to the left. Now stepping to the right.
