All concepts of politics, of whatever kind, are about conflict--how to contain it, or abolish it.

We often try to get control of a dispute by focusing on the details. Scientists teach us that this is an unproductive and frustrating pursuit. Documenting conflict is like trying ot measure a coastline, the classic fractal example. From afar, it looks easy, but as you work to map even a square mile, you find unique bends and curves within each bend and curve, which are comprised of even more similar yet ultimately immeasurable shapes. With conflic, documenting past discussions, memories, and interconnecting relationships will quickly get you mired in data with no hope of understanding the overall picture.
