Something ELSE set your body in motion, sent an executive summary - almost an afterthought - to the homunculus behind your eyes ... that arrogant subroutine that thinks of itself as The person, mistakes correlation for causality, ... and thinks He moved the finger -- Peter Watts
God who gave Animals self motion beyond our understanding is without doubt able to implant other principles of motion in bodies which we may understand as little. Some would readily grant this may be a Spiritual one; yet a mechanical one might be showne. ... -- James Gleick
There are many levels of organization in nervous systems. Hence we aim to explain mechanisms at one level in terms of properties and dynamics at a lower level, and to fit that in with the properties at the higher levels. -- Patricia Churchland
The action is in the interaction. -- Douglas Conant
Machinery is the subconscious mind of the world. -- Gerald Stanley Lee
Actions are stairs and reactions are slides -- Rajesh Walecha

To discover the laws of operative power in material productions, whether formed by man or brought into being by Nature herself, is the work of a science, and is indeed what we more especially term Science. -- William Whewell
Since the introduction of inanimate mechanism into British manufactories, man, with few exceptions, has been treated as a secondary and inferior machine; and far more attention has been given to perfect the raw materials of wood and metals than those of body and mind. -- Robert Owen
Each time it goes around a little bit, a second goes away."
"Where?" I asked, as the pendulum swung again. And again.
He winked at me. "It escapes. That's why they call it that. Escapement. -- Kristopher Jansma
Contemplation is necessary to generate an object, but action must propagate it. -- Owen Feltham
Coincidence is the word we use when we can't see the levers and pulleys. -- Emma Bull

The identification of the genes which determine biological phenomena and the study of the control they exert on these phenomena has proven to be the most successful approach to a detailed understanding of the mechanism of biological processes. -- Baruj Benacerraf
The strategy is a living ever-evolving pivoting mechanism. -- Pearl Zhu
The alternation of motion is ever proportional to the motive force impressed; and is made in the direction of the right line in which that force is impressed. -- Isaac Newton
To produce a primary [karmic] cause which is potentially capable of having an effect, three things are necessary: intention, the actual action, and then satisfaction. -- Namkhai Norbu
My most scientific analysis, with all means of science and technology in mind, is that it's magic. -- Chris Colfer

WHO MAKES THESE CHANGES? Who makes these changes? I shoot an arrow right. It lands left. I ride after a deer and find myself chased by a hog. I plot to get what I want and end up in prison. I dig pits to trap others and fall in. I should be suspicious of what I want. DROWNING -- Jalaluddin Rumi
The network approach also sheds light on another important feature: the fact that certain systems that grow without external control are still capable of spontaneously developing an internal order. -- Guido Caldarelli
How This Book Works -- Sheila Mackechnie Murtha
Motion or change, and identity or rest, are the first and second secrets of nature: Motion and Rest. The whole code of her laws may be written on the thumbnail, or the signet of a ring. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is a quintessential example of the whirling kinetics that drive a Keaton film, in which not just the medium but the human body- the permutations of the sinews, the shock of the limbs -seems infinitely elastic, an unruly instument to be wilded with a cheeky kind of grace. -- Edward Mcpherson
The right circumstances sometimes happen of their own accord, slyly, without fanfare, without warning. Layman's alchemy ... The magic of everyday things. -- Joanne Harris
We wind a simple ring of iron with coils; we establish the connections to the generator, and with wonder and delight we note the effects of strange forces which we bring into play, which allow us to transform, to transmit and direct energy at will. -- Nikola Tesla
It wasn't about mechanics; it was about a feeling, wanting to give someone something, which in turn was really gratifying. That really resonated for me. -- Thomas Keller

is firmly in place. The mechanics of it were simple. The
prospect, however, of having an A that big anywhere near
his B was mildly worrying -- R.j. Scott
Art employs method for the symmetrical formation of beauty, as science employs it for the logical exposition of truth; but the mechanical process is, in the last, ever kept visibly distinct, while in the first it escapes from sight amid the shows of color and the curves of grace. -- Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1St Baron Lytton
Some of us, for better or worse, develop very stable, consistent, and largely predictable machineries of self. But in others, the self machinery is more flexible and more open to unexpected turns. -- Antonio Damasio

And that was all of it. The machine stretched out in an endless, dizzying series of loops and whirls and weird mechanisms, sprouting wires like tree
roots. It didn't look real to her. Neither did Myrnin, as he turned to her with a barely concealed red glow in his eyes. -- Rachel Caine

circumstance. -- James Allen

Neither pathway is correct. -- Azaam Yahoo
By the cold Darwinian logic of natural selection, evolution codifies happenstance into strategy. -- David Quammen
Action triggers reaction.
An object somehow responds when we observe it.
We just assume that we do objective.

of the object which do not evoke the bitter memories of our past. -- Toba Beta
Natural movement is the shortest way to an effective result. Like the way the water runs, it always finds the right way. -- Vladimir Vasiliev
The most steady, the most self-sufficient nature depends, more than it knows, on its few chosen stimuli. -- Elizabeth Bowen

What the gears cannot do the computer might. The computer is the Proteus of machines. Its essence is its universality, its power to simulate -- Seymour Papert
An incentive is a bullet, a key: an often tiny object with astonishing power to change a situation -- Steven D. Levitt
Organic growth is a cyclical process; it is just as true to say that the oak is a potential acorn as it is to say the acorn is a potential oak. But the process of writing a poem, of making any art object, is not cyclical but a motion in one direction toward a definite end. -- W. H. Auden
Electrophoresis. -- Peter Watts
Biology sometimes reveals its fundamental principles through what may seem at first to be arcane and bizarre. -- Elizabeth Blackburn

They go from social encounter to social encounter requesting others to comply with their wishes; their frequency of success is dazzling. -- Robert Cialdini
The assumption that a whole system can be made to work better through an assault on its conscious elements betrays a dangerous ignorance. This has often been the approach of those who call themselves scientists and technologists. -- Frank Herbert
What happens: events interiors, snatch them from the cradle, from the source. I want to watch watching arrive. I want to watch arrivances. I want to find the root of needing to eat. And taste it: work of sweat / sleep. -- Helene Cixous

The evil that machinery is doing is not merely in the consequence of its work but in the fact that it makes men themselves machines also. -- Oscar Wilde
To describe 'how' means to reconstruct the series of specific events that led from one point to another. -- Yuval Noah Harari
If a thing can be done adequately by means of one, it is superfluous to do it by means of several; for we observe that nature does not employ two instruments [if] one suffices. -- Thomas Aquinas
