If I had to make a statement about the very most ultimate nature of what I saw, I'd say it seemed to be a single complex sphere in flux, elaborating (yes, that's the word I want: elaborating) itself out of its continually greater number of stages of antecedent states/stages, always surpassing itself esthetically, in terms of wisdom, intricacy, efficiency, level of negentropy (organization): yes, perpetually surpassing itself in the level of organization (completeness) — filling in the gaps by a continually better and better — i.e., wiser, more efficient, more beautiful — use of its constituents and their arrangement — placement within — subsumed as parts — by the single over-all unitary structure. It may indeed develop from simplicity to complexity. But at the same time it progresses from plurality (many pieces) to incorporation into a unity. So its number is inversely proportional to its complexity: it goes from the many simple to the one absolutely complex.

SYDCARMY AT WORK

She's in her progressive chef's whites. New (seems like a ) peppers 🌶️ headscarf.

That headscarf is EXTREMELY INTERESTING TO ME because CARMY'S mom is someone I see with those neopolitan cornicelli peppers in the house and on her necklace.

The cornicelli charm is in gold in her necklace

Italians see it as a sign of protection

Carmy though is in his Beef blues

Looking good but it seems like he's not into the direction of chef's whites just yet.

Mind you he's been there done that in NY before. It probably gives him bad memories and is triggering.

So he wants to move forward but just not in THAT direction . Regression, relapse, whatever...

Now the building is the old beef building.

Sydney got her chef's whites after the renovation

I'm just saying it's giving time glitches and this is not real. Like the Bear scenarios are happening in someone's mind. It's like they had to start over from scratch because of Carmy in the fridge. Like in Time Out Of JOINT. The escape attempts . On the third try they get out. (My theory based on all the hints they put in the show)

Meanwhile Carmy not giving her enough goo goo eyes for my taste

The universe itself — and the Mind behind it — is insane. Therefore someone in touch with reality is, by definition, in touch with the insane: infused by the irrational.

I WOULD FEEL SOME KINDA WAY

I'm saying, if I was under the table like this with my co-worker I would feel SOMETHING

From Carmy's POV it's a woman laying there with her eyes closed. A woman he's invested in, who almost left him, who he texted to ground himself before opening his brothers note.

A woman HE invited to be with him under the table

From SYDNEY'S POV it's a guy leaning over her to fix a loose screw that he asked HER to fix because he really needed her help to do it.

It's quiet

They're alone

I would be so intensely aware of the body heat, the breathing, the closeness, the everything...

This is WILD!
