Key-Keyhole Sequence:
"We deal in a Universe in which unity is plural and at minimum two. We find that this is what we really mean by fundamental complementarity-- what the physicists are trying to get society to realize. I’ve seen a newspaper man ask scientists,‘Is this the building block of the Universe? Is this the key?’ We find that the Universe cannot be explained by a single key; that there has to be a keyhole as well as a key. It is typical of our oversimplification just to think of the keys. We find that our geometries and our whole education just looks on one side of the line.
“So we find that complementarity is even more complex; that there had to be not only the keyhole, but that the keyhole had to be in something. The keyhole that was in something had to be related to the rest of the Universe. So then we had a rubber glove which was stripped off of this hand, which we called the left hand, fairly ignorantly, and now it fits the other hand. So where has the other one gone? Then I strip it off here and there goes the other hand.”
