GR P1 S1: "The Evacuation still proceeds..."

[jporter]

I'd not thought of it, actually, but I like it. I'm afraid I've
had my head in the clouds, rather than down, uh, closer
to the earth.

Some thought's about evacuation:

Not just in animate systems, the evacuation of waste,
usually in the form of heat, results in increased order
in the "evacuator".

I vaguely remember some gnostic/kabbalistic references
to "evacuation" as one description for the emergence of
the material world and its consequences from sources
more ethereal.

Likewise, the characterization of the enforced departure
of Adam and Eve from Eden- for the greater glory and
perfection of The Garden.

But the relationship between entropy lost and gained,
Gravity, and the transforming properties of "the garden"
are way at the end of this section. Pirate hasn't even
awakened yet; miles to go before then.
