I tried to ask a question about the hamsterwheel. here it is. Aristotle proposed a model of the universe where a big cog would engage other little cogs to form a giant clock called the universe. from there, Newton imagined an absolute time assigned to the main engine that would aggregate the other cogs. question: who could be the main engine? is it a single process or a conglomerate of processes held together by a great architecture of motion and design?
