1404

There are several entries that use the concept of "skin" both literally and metaphorically to describe technology, creativity, and human perception:

• Entry 0464: This entry describes the creative process in music as a "balancing act of right and left brain," where the right brain provides the creative framework and the left brain serves as its outer "skin".
• Entry 0727: Here, technology is compared to "the skin that is continually being replaced." The source suggests that as "old skin cells" (old ways of seeing or extensions) are replaced by new ones, the previous versions cannot be retrieved.
• Entry 1183: This entry observes that while creativity can make a mind more agile, it also "has a tendency to thin the skin".
• Entry 1404 (and 0097(05)): These entries define the physical limit of the human presence in the world as the "edges of the skin" and the limitations of sensory organs, noting that "that's where technology begins".
