Analog world

Just like theories;
All analogies are wrong.
Some are useful.

Analogies are wonderful things.
They are the way we learn and understand.

As analogies help us see similarities,
They help us connect many differing observations,
They weave loose phenomena into a more sturdy coherent world view;
A steadier platform from which we can operate.

Unlike theories;
Analogies don't attempt to present themselves as true.
They don't attempt to be perfect,
Just useful.
