This Western Aesthetic is an International Standard. Even China
and the Middle East, Iran and Iraq contain these pervasive symbols.
In the functionality of design- it is a logical construction of
bearing the necessary weight of tension over the grid of modernity,
and yet it has a powerful unspoken history, a greater power over
sense and freedom of mind and our ability to describe what is real.
So simple and true a relationship between the powers that be,
as A=A, so does the electrical system continue classical architecture.
We are all slaves in this E-State, unless we should decide otherwise.
