Order in Becoming
How mysterious and complex the order of nature is.
Countless small things gather and compose this vast world.
This is an Ichi - a fact, a reason, a logic -
neither philosophical nor disputable but simply natural.
The things we learned from school
- atoms, quarks, and whatever names we gave them -
gather to form something.
They determine not only the shape and size
but also the very nature of what they compose.
Unconscious grains create objects,
and even living beings capable of thinking and feeling.
These living beings build societies, make rules of their own,
and evolve into unexpected forms - mutations, transformations, and deviations.
This process applies to both individuals and groups.
And within it, there is an undeniable order.
I understood this as a natural order, something to be taken as it is.

질서, 변화의 모양
당연함이란
얼마나 복잡하고 신비로운지.
작은 알갱이들은 모여, 이 커다란 세상을 이룬다. 이것은 이치理致.
대단히 철학적이거나 어려운 이야기는 아닐 것이다. 당연히 그렇다는 뜻이다.
그러니까,
학교에서 배운 원자나 쿼크 같은 작은 입자들이 모여 무언가를 만든다는 것.
그것들은 단순히 모양과 크기만 만드는 것이 아니라, 특성을 만든다.
의식 없는 작은 알갱이들은 사물을 만들고, 생각하고 느끼는 생명체도 만든다.
이렇게 만들어진 생명들이 사회와 규칙을 만든다.
또 돌연한 변이로인해 상상 못 할 방향으로 진화도 한다.
이것은 개체에도 단체에도 적용되는데, 그 안에는 분명한 질서가 존재한다.
나는 이것을, ‘자연스러움 즉, 당연함’이라 이해하였다.
