Fractals revolving around a stasis

Chess does not roll ever outward towards infinity.  It encroaches slightly upon the infinite multitudes, but could never seek to encompass all.  The roles of the pieces and the restrictions of the board, as well as opening positions and the movements of the opponent paint the picture of a narrowing aperture.  Chess acts like a basic musical scale or linguistic rhythm, personifying and mystifying with adequate respect to the limits of the perceptions of the human experience.  A series of microcosms within macrocosms built around logical systems, chess seems to be.  Let us bow are heads in a moment of silence.
