form follows function - what is all this about? We give things a form and try to categorize them; to understand them; to find their function.
When you look into the micro level of the human body, you see how we function. All molecules in our body follow patterns, follow predetermined functions - there is an initial state and a black box, and in the end, a product emerges that we need to survive. Maybe it can all be reduced to the function all the elemtns follow: the thermodynamics of air and water and the cycles of life of earth.
Even if we don't think about these processes, they function. Our body can remain a big black box for us throughout our lives. Because we experience and do not need to know - or do we only experience because we are in our body?

In our body, function often follows form, codes dictate the forms. This is a picutre of the idea of natural laws of the universe where the form of living beings is created through functions of physics.

But do we know that we are in our body (or) above our body or the gap between our body and what goes beyond it? Our perception depends on us having a self, on us forming an identity.

We define ourselves. We are an initial state and our life is a black box from which we emerge as a product with memories, values, and desires. But even here, we cannot know whether we control the black box ourselves or whether external, physical and societal circumstances make us into what we are and are not.

How much has our notion of genders influenced our identity? How do we present ourselves outwardly? How do we conform to forms? Are our emotions our minds or from our body? Are you the experience of your thoughts and feelings or are you what remains. If they are gone? Am I subject or object? If you cannot grasp your own form and function in the world, do you then become the subject? Because objects seem to be defined by their function, their usefulness to us.
Can we find a new function?

Similarly to our bodies and minds, language follows functions which at the same time limit and reflect our capabilities for emotions and thoughts.
I find this parallel of functions in language and sentences interesting and therefore want to connect coding and poetry, e.g. in this poem generator.
