Part III: The Illustrated "Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" Chapters 16 thru 26.  

As We Observe the Tapered Straight Line Geometry of the Euclidian Geometry Straight Road,
….The Narrator Continues In His Inquiry =>
…….“How Do Know When We Have Found a Fact That Merits Our Interest?“


….“ Where is the simple fact? Scientists have been seeking it in the two extremes, in the infinitely great and in the infinitely small. Biologists, for example, have been instinctively led to regard the cell as more interesting than the whole animal; and, since Poincaré’s time, the protein molecule as more interesting than the cell. The outcome has shown the wisdom of this, since cells and molecules belonging to different organisms have been found to be more alike than the organisms themselves.
.... How then choose the interesting fact, the one that begins again and again? Method is precisely this choice of facts; it is needful then to be occupied first with creating a method; and many have been imagined, since none imposes itself. It’s proper to begin with the regular facts, but after a rule is established beyond all doubt, the facts in conformity with it become dull because they no longer teach us anything new. Then it’s the exception that becomes important. We seek not resemblances but differences, choose the most accentuated differences because they’re the most striking and also the most instructive.”

Three quarters of a mile SSE of Clinton, MT. At right of /\ Above Photo, you can see an example of the marginal road that often runs by I-90.
….In this case, this marginal is for non-interstate traffic to have access to local roads, either up or down river, or for local traffic to get through the narrow canyon ahead.
