A mental construct is parallel to a physical construction.  Whether architectonic or natural, each is an aspect of a conceptual and material congruence. In space, matter accumulates into form through attraction or gravity.  Similarly, associations between thoughts and memories coalesce through the suspension of their unresolved significance or the sense of an incomplete experience with it.  Like being comprised of multiple fragments, these ideas are compressed into a whole, like bits of sedimentary information transforming until falling to rest.

The significance of a thing is something that could be understood as requiring active maintenance in order for it to be preserved.   Through an intervention with the fleeting nature of deteriorating material, the identity of an object becomes established at the same moment it is conserved.   As a vehicle carrying a sense of a pre conceived value upon it, in addition to its own identity, our memories become embodied within the materiality of the object itself, leaving it as a repository of our thoughts or ideas that can be touched upon later.

In the realm of physics, the Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy is never created or destroyed, but can only change in terms of form. That the total quantity of matter and energy available in the universe is a fixed amount - no more, no less. In a much larger scheme, everything is comprised from something else, and yet ideas can appear to be generated from nowhere, and the semblance of something can appear to be created from nothing.
