Card C00210

RBF DEFINITIONS:
Aesthetica of Uniformity:

"There is that sameness that makes twins, or even brothers
and sisters of different ages, oft times indistinguishable
to strangers; that makes whole races indistinguishable to
the members of another race, yet which, with familiarity,
becomes suddenly inconceivable of existence. That kind of
sameness embodying character and harmony through repetition
is not unhappy. There is the even greater sameness of a
flotilla of destroyers, far more accurate in duplication
than the human, with inspiring rhythm of appeal when seen
in formation under way or moored. Without visible distiguishing
mark to the stranger, the destroyers have almost living
individualism to their crews."
Cite 4-D, The Time Lock, Chapter 10., May, 1928
