Subject: Re:  Re: boundaries in flow


I think "boundaries" is a molar concept that has relative merit, but to get
more specific we must go more molar. I think we're discussing dynamic
thresholds, differentiations that are constantly changing relative to each
other, places where surfaces flow over each other. Where different viscosities
interflow, at their surface there are "boundary effects" instead of
boundaries. At the molar level to a more or less extent we experience these
effects and then reify them.

The "boundary" may represent the schizz between two or more different types of
flow where they begin to intermix. But then again, these are not boundaries in
our ordinary sense, because again, they are shifting and ever changing. As oil
mixes in water, there may be a moment when both are outside each other, but
then in swirling patterns they come to interpenetrate each other, and move
throughout each other.
