The exogenesis of light

Matteo Pasquinelli

In other words, the atoms encode. Material elements, they perform as well as signs; they inform each other mutually, elect each other, choose each other, reflect each other, repel each other, like the diamonds in that cave of wonders, like all molecules do, like the codes of the living combine with each other and eliminate each other . . . They encode, we encode; they count, we count; we speak, they speak. Knowledge is thus the ability to listen and to translate the scattered languages of things. They usually speak mathematics.

– Michel Serres, ‘Information and Thinking’
