Roughness can never be consciously or deliberately created; to make a thing live, its roughness must be the product of egolessness, the product of no will

Claim that genuine roughness comes from abandon and freedom, not from contrived effort to appear interesting; artificial roughness is merely contrived

Roughness is an essential structural feature without which a thing cannot be whole; it is not a residue of technically inferior culture or hand-craft inaccuracyclaim0.827
Claim that morphological roughness arises from paying attention to what matters most and letting go of what matters less, making it more precise than rigid regularity
The unassuming, ordinary, touching quality can only be created by a living process, by unfolding.claim0.786
Strong exclusivity claim: only unfolding produces genuine ordinariness that touches people.

Thinking about creation in this way, brutal and too-decisive though it may seem, is the process by which the guts of a thing, its valuable force, is made.claim0.767
Final claim: the brutal geometric process is what gives anything its essential force and value
Roughness arises inevitably when a regular order is forced into three-dimensional constraints, producing adaptive irregularities like those in corn cobs, crystal dislocations, and radiolarian shells.claim0.766
