A collection of objects is yet one more
object. In fact every object is a collection
of objects, since everything can be reduced
to smaller elements. So every object is a
complex object. This is partly why words —
which are themselves objects used to
describe other objects, and their
relationships, are always ambiguous. It is both
the bane of anyone trying to tie the world
down into clearly defined patterns, and the
joy of anyone who relishes that ambiguity
and the richness of experience that it
represents (like Shakespeare).
