Status Updates From Lebhafte Materie

i just decided this book is about Dust from the golden compass: "nature was not, for bergson and driesch, a machine, and matter was not in principle calculable: something always escaped quantification, prediction, and control. they named that something élan vital (bergson) and entelechy (driesch)."

read up to "vitality and self-interest"

Lucretius tells of bodies falling in a void, bodies that are not lifeless stuff but matter on the go, entering and leaving assemblages, swerving into each other: . . . "[For if they did not].. swerve, all things would fall downwards through the deep void like drops of rain, nor could collision come to be, nor a blow brought to pass for the primordia: so nature would never have brought anything into existence."
