Artists and scientists do not simply express what is already inside them, but create something new through a dialogue with their medium or nature. For both, their initial ideas are only similar to what they observe, not identical, and it is from considering the similarities and differences that new ideas emerge. This continual process leads to the constant creation of new insights that both the artist/scientist and their subject matter hold in common.

1. Artists are not just

2. 'expressing themself'

3. not just

4. 'pushing outward what is already formed inside of them'

5. The first thing the artist does

6. is only similar in certain ways

7. to what they have in mind.

8. As in a conversation between two people,

9. they see the similarity and difference,

10. and from this perception

11. something further emerges

12. in the next action.

13. Thus, something new is continually created

14. that is common to the artist

15. and the material

16. on which they are working.

17. The same goes for the scientist

18. who has a dialogue with nature.

19. An idea is tested by observation.

20. When it is found that what is observed

21. is only similar to what they had in mind

22. and not identical,

23. then from a consideration

24. of the similarities and differences,

25. they get a new idea

26. which is in turn tested.

27. And so it goes,

28. with the continual emergence

29. of something new

30. that is common

31. to the thought of the scientist

32. and what is observed in nature.
