Thanks to Mark for this idea... we were talking about how conversations sometimes get to the point where the ideas are too much for an individual mind to grasp completely. Instead, the ideas are loosely held together across the people involved, but if the conversation dies--even for just a few seconds--it's impossible to get started again because the mutual context that each person shared is lost.

Mark used the analogy of a skyscraper being built higher and higher, but at the very same time, the floors below are constantly disintegrating.

Hmmm, brings to mind vanishing points with perspective and such . . . distance naturally disconnects information? or does the distance/time simply render it increasingly irrelevant because the measuring stick/view is shifting? Mark is blabbing?

I would also think of it as just the idea of something building, without the expectation that it is going to be a skyscraper (something tall or short, etc.) Blind building for the sake of building, enabling you to lose sight of the why. Capturing a moment of self-reformation/transformation.
