An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. The crane in Japan is one of the mystical or holy creatures (others include the dragon and the tortoise), and is said to live for a thousand years. In Asia, it is commonly said that folding 1000 paper origami cranes makes a person’s wish come true. This makes them popular gifts for special friends and family. A thousand paper cranes are also traditionally given as a wedding gift by the folder, who is wishing a thousand years of happiness and prosperity upon the couple. They can also be gifted to a new baby for long life and good luck.
A heterarchy is a system of organization replete with overlap, multiplicity, mixed ascendancy, and/or divergent but coexistent patterns of relation. Definitions of the term vary among the disciplines.

Illustrating Srs2 Disassembles Rad51 Filaments by a Protein-Protein Interaction Triggering ATP Turnover and Dissociation of Rad51 from DNA
By Edwin Antony, Eric J. Tomko, Qi Xiao, Lumir Krejci, Timothy M. Lohman, Tom Ellenberger
“Srs2 (blue) clears Rad51 filaments from ssDNA to downregulate homologous recombination. A specific interaction with Srs2 allosterically triggers ATP hydrolysis within the Rad51 filament, causing it to dissociate.”

Statement:
“King of All Cosmos: My, Earth really is full of things!”
Wikipedia: “Katamari Damacy (塊魂, Katamari Damashii, lit. “Clump Spirit”) is a third-person puzzle-action video game that is published and developed by Namco for the PlayStation 2 video game console. It was first released in Japan, and then later in South Korea and North America. The game’s plot concerns a diminutive prince on a mission to rebuild the stars, constellations and Moon, which were accidentally destroyed by his father, the King of All Cosmos. This is achieved by rolling a magical, highly adhesive ball called a katamari around various locations, collecting increasingly larger objects, ranging from thumbtacks to people to mountains, until the ball has grown large enough to become a star. Katamari Damacy’s story, characters, and settings are bizarre and heavily stylized, rarely attempting any semblance of realism, though the brands and items used are based on those current in Japan during the game’s production.”
