GC2JH7N Spirals (Unknown Cache) in Västra Götaland, Sweden created by Kasheuren

This cache has been archived.

Kasheuren: Dags för arkivering och där hade omvärlden redan gjort sitt för burken var vad jag kunde bedöma borta.
Så nu arkiveras cachen.
Kan nu avslöja att denna cache nog tungt, fast undermedvetet är baserad på en del tankar i Douglas Hofstadters underbara bok "Gödel, Escher, Bach - ett evigt gyllene band", i svenskt översättning som har fått författarens personliga gillande. Är du intresserad av matematikens inre utan att för den skull vara lärd i matematik, och har en dragning åt att veta hur saker funkar på djupet, tja då rekommenderar jag denna goding. Den måste dock inte sträckläsas...
Men hejdå cachen, och platsen ledig för nya utmaningar. Fräck utsikt är det!

Geocache Description:

The cache is not to be found directly at the coordinates above, but still within a moderate and fairly easy walk from there somewhere in Änggårdsbergen (a place well worth visiting by the way). When placing the cache voices from some passers-by where suddenly overheard:

...
   - Scandinavian accent: Yes, that is the really good question. Again, we should perhaps not look so much at the similarities but focus on the differences.
- Asian accent: Hm, I still miss some of the logic here I'm afraid. Are we looking at the spirals in themselves or the structures from which they are built?
   - Scandinavian accent: Well, remember that the examples we used were the spiralling galaxies above, the complex DNA spirals in all living underneath and the human race in the presumably never-ending spiral of economic growth in between.
- Asian accent: Then we are in fact talking about the overall picture and the small building blocks as just two sides of the same coin?
   - Scandinavian accent: Again let's return to the observation that from alternating interactions the result is formed, the one relating to the other and back again as we put it.
- Asian accent: But how do we know where to look for the real essence in the picture?
   - Scandinavian accent: Yes, that is the really good question. Again, we should perhaps not look so much at the similarities but focus on the differences.
- Asian accent: OK, OK. I realize that have some sort of pattern here. But when looking at it it's just a real mess, isn't it?
   - Scandinavian accent: Well, remember the examples we used: the spiralling galaxies above, the complex DNA spirals in all living underneath and the human race in the presumably never-ending spiral of economic growth in between.

And so they continued their deep metaphysical investigation while disappearing into the myst.

Now, at last, when we have gone through the dreary, highbrow, pseudophilosophical, and actually non-essential (but potentially helpful) intro we are ready to roll.
The cache contains a thematic log book and a pen - and this is the place were you, at last, get a real trading usage for your ever increasing stock of nice but tiny spiral trade items!
