“There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly.” R. Buckminster Fuller

Chronoscope is apparently an entropic way to see the past,
but what if the past tells us more about the future than we usually think?
We are now in a point where we should just take a step back.
Ephemeralization is not the answer maybe, but this ephemeral symbol, the butterfly,
stands for self-organizing, self-regulated, self-sufficient – but never fixed or rigid – systems in nature.
