   Using your analogizer - consider cause/effect.
   With the right balanced mechanism, a slight disturbance can be
   all it takes to get something started that continues on its own
   beyond that.

   The effect feeds back into the cause, allowing for further
   causes. [I'm not doing a "proof of God" thing here... but this
   *is* a damned amazing mechanism. I was looking for an
   engineering equivalent to mechanism with minimal cause that has
   long-lasting effects and, surprise of surprises, up comes a
   novel watch mechanism.]
   You don't even need sound on to watch this. I'm watching it
   without sound. It's beautiful to watch this ... watch.
