Concentration is another interesting concept 1/

An essay is a concentration of facts, arguments and conclusions. By it's nature, the semantic interval must be short or it is not an essay.
3
Gravity can be thought of as concentration given force.
3
Concentration is often a precursor to action and associated with the concept of potential energy.
3
Temporally and logically it has the sense of total distance from the first element to the last within an interval anchored at a unique step. The shorter the interval the more concentrated the sequence.
3
Geometrically its strongly associated with circularity, concentrism and regularity, as real forces act with omni-directional non-linearity, rather than in a rectilinear fashion along the cardinal directions.
3
Physically it is synonymous with density. Define a boundary. Count what's inside. The higher the count, the higher the concentration.

Coherence is an interesting concept 1/

Coherence can turn segregation into coordination.
4
Miniaturisation lets many small redundant things generate power as if they were one big thing.
4
Coherence is synonymous with power. The more that things go in the same direction, in the same step, the larger an effect they have.

Consider a laser. The more photons are knocked into the same phase and orientation, the faster the spot illuminated heats.
5
Consider a modern rocket engine. Many nozzles ejecting heated matter in parallel. Point them away from one another and the acceleration imparted weakens.
8
Coherence imports the idea of an axis, an imaginary line which every element's trajectory runs parallel to
7
Physically it's a pattern of things that move together in sync like a lot of copies in different places at the same time.
8
Temporally and logically it's a chain of events that follow one after another, such that you can't separate them.
8
Semantically it's many parts working like they are just one part towards a goal.
23
Physically its the alignment of moving patterns, such that they travel together like a pack of synchronised swimmers, each in step with one another.

This life isn't theatre.

What if a robot could grab objects like a chameleon catching a bug? Festo’s FlexShapeGripper uses compressed air, water and an elastic silicone cap that wraps around objects of different shapes. Unlike traditional rigid grippers, it can adapt to different geometries without manual reconfiguration.
