Call them principles of organization, my good fellow, p.o.'s. Although once
aligned, those so organized might well prefer that a "w" be added. The outer
circle of the new org, quite difficult to discern really, is only half the
story. The boundary and the center are mutually co-dependent, like baiter
and baitee. Sometimes each is only implied in the hidden hopes and dreams of
the other. What reason for there to be dreams, if not that outer circle-
that distant edge of confinement secretly wished into existence? Is it just
for the pleasure of skin divers and cigarette smokers?

I think not  (and therefore...).
