An oracular explanation is sought at Chicago’s long-overdue Department of Zoning Oversight Fellowship Forum for a favorable outcome at City Hall. First, PDB channels keys:
If you lose your keys, you might put yourself in their place and ask, where would I be? Then you might be able to find your keys through a sequential path of logic, or you might just stumble across them by dumb luck. Both result in a found set of keys, but only one path demonstrates that something is at work here beyond your understanding, a higher order.
Fair enough. As for the long-sought favorable outcome in which the zoning administrators gave approval for three (3) sets of drawings, leaving the architect with incomplete “cosmic understanding” of what happened:
Since there appears to be no sequence of logic here, it fits that Zoning exhibits not simply a higher degree but an altogether different level of complexity. Some might call it divine.
He thanks “the oracle,” likening the challenge to “trying to take the white out of rice.”
