The creation or sub-creation of complex worlds is a separating activity. By this we see that the business of constructing, or re-constructing within one’s own mind (ie learning), complex systems of artificial regulation or procedure as in Law or Accountancy, is basically separatist.*

Science may be contrasted in this way against Technology. Science seeks the Unity, or at least the Harmony, in Diversity; Technology uses the patterns and principles discovered by Science to construct (or reconstruct) generally more complicated systems. Pure Science is therefore, like Metaphysical Philosophy and Higher Religion, fundamentally a unifying process; Technology is basically a separating process.

*I write as one faced with the possibility of having to re-enter these worlds….

[– & the writing of fiction? – presumably if sub-creation, then separating; but may be balanced by the inward, unifying 

 impulse to enter into the minds of others and understand them.]
