All Of Technology Is An Analogy Of The Human Condition. Take For Example The Arch, The Center point At Which The Angles Are Wedged Is An Analogy Of A Tactical Maneuver Where Armies Are Converging At A Closer And Closer Distance But Are Thwarted By Vulnerability Of Friendly Fire. In Essence Proximity Is An Advantage (gravitational force), But As The Proximity Increases, It Becomes More Of A Disadvantage (atomic force).
