#### Chapter 7
Complex information is thus organized and
transmitted by language composed of words. Nodes are almost always linked to other nodes, so that to recall one node is to summon others.
This linkage, with all the emotional coloring pulled up with it, is the
essence of what we refer to as meaning. The linkage of nodes is assembled as a hierarchy to organize information with more and more
meaning. "Hound," "hare" and "chasing" are nodes, each symbolizing
collectively a class of more or less similar images. A hound chasing a
hare is called a proposition, the next order of complexity in informa-
tion. The higher order above the proposition is the schema. A typical
schema is Ovid's telling of Apollo's courtship of Daphne, like an un-
stoppable hound in pursuit of an unattainable hare, wherein the
dilemma is resolved when Daphne, the hare and a concept, turns into
a laurel tree, another concept reached by a proposition.

We are not afraid of predators, we're transfixed by them, prone to weave stories and fables and chatter endlessly about them, because fascination creates preparedness, and preparedness, survival. In a deeply tribal way, we love our monsters.
