Abstract
At the very beginning there is the structure. The structure is a skeleton, the premise, the base on which the flesh is arranged, systematically, so that a body maybe created. It may not always make itself palpable but if there is a structure then there must also be a center. A structure without a center is both incomplete and dysfunctional. This is because the lack of a center deludes the very purpose of organization the structure is meant to serve. The center maintains this strict level of organization in a variety of ways. For the purpose it not just 'orients' and 'balances' the structure, but also effectively reduces or 'limits' the extent of 'play' in it. The center therefore is a reductionist tool. Its inherent purpose is at the level of 'reducing' or 'neutralizing'.
