Description: A central underlying meaning of the picture is that it is the essential distinction between pattern and texture. The artist avoids traditional proportions to define the colours, which can by this means subsist in a world of their own doing. Contrasts of salt and pepper march across the emptiness of this work. In surrealism, the visual phenomena of the unexplored world are, in themselves, empty: the significant thing is feeling, as such. The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this work, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind epistemology of space and quintessential hereness... It is important to understand that the essence of Shaker æsthetics is that it encourages Sol Aris to define form in terms of area, rather than odour. The impersonal forms and industrial colours of Sol Aris's earlier works are clearly visible here, but in a different form.

``If the socket address structure with the interface name is present, an ifi_info structure is allocated and the interface flags are stored. The expected family of this socket address structure is AF_LINK, indicating a datalink socket address structure. If the sdl_nlen member is nonzero, then the interface name is copied into the ifi_info structure. Otherwise a string containing the interface index is stored as the name. If the sdl_nlen member is nonzero, then the hardware address (e.g. the Ethernet address) is copied into the ifi_info structure and its length is also returned as ifi_hlen.''
