   Three different contexts :   
   1. The folk talk evolved(hunter-gatherer) heritage (anger).   
   2. The existential philosophical representation taken as 'reality'.   
   3. The electrical engineer, computer science, functional independent   
   information structure, that used to 'work'.   
      
   Then there is the changing context, the mystery of the place, the   
   putative miscreant 'gods', and the inherent meaninglessness of the   
   place(with hints of meaning).
