A large computer chip, its edges interfacing with the motherboard, connects with the broader reality. This computer chip is designed for a specific purpose and function, carrying a burden. Remove it from the computer, from the device, and it will not function as it should. Can I see its function? No, not necessarily. Will I notice when it is gone? Yes, maybe not immediately, but when enough chips are destroyed, and the device crumbles beyond a certain point, the very astute will be able to notice. And no one will like what that astute one has to say. Unable to face the abject, one will retreat into delusion — into the 'secular' or some other fantasy, like the Apollonian.
