This is comment is orthagonally-related, something I read just yesterday: Douglas Adams' short story on "A Puddle's Perspective":<p>tl;dr:<p>If a water puddle had perception, then the containing "outside" always seems to be "the perfect fit" for the puddle, no matter how much nor little rainfall.<p>Until eventually, the last water vapors dissipate, and the puddle is no more.
