Indeed the language gets in the way of clarity.
It would be interesting to know how symbiosis became synonymous with multiplicity of interactions
rather than the mere two of its original meaning.
I find it a struggle to understand how Mr. Hosack develops the brilliant technique of obscuring even the simplest of meanings, and this distracts me from understanding what points he is attempting to make.
Somehow the writings from the later Joyce all the way to Derrida seem so much less dense today, because they did, after all,allow us access to their linguistic adventures even if we hated the whole idea of such experiments.
We can excuse them of course because they are artists of the written word.
I have found that, without exception, great architects can state their most profound ideas both in clear words and in clear buildings.
This does not mean an absence of profundity, for great buildings reveal their depths over time. You really have to live in them to know them.
It would be interesting to know what "Fine Art quality" in this context means at least to Mr. Hosack so that we less literate ones might be let into this new version of "arcanum arcanorum" ( the secret of secrets).
