The reality of the physical universe surrounds us and whether we like the interactions or not, there is a strong sense of familiarity with the rules of engagement, the systematic display of cause and effect … and then you fall asleep.
 
You are in that same Home Depot looking to buy a new grill when you spot a perfect candidate on the showroom floor. You remove the…
