Here we show that rosette shaped gel domains, with
heterogeneous orientational texture and a central topological defect, after early stage growth, undergo slow relaxation.
Moreover and most importantly, we showed that upon subtle changes of either the pH of the solution or of the electrical charge of the substrate, it is possible to reversibly switch the assembly process on and off as well as to induce a transformation from a one specific spatial /
orientational arrangement to another.

We have seen that, for Merleau - Ponty, my body is for me not a natural object, but
an orientational center of a field of intelligible behavior.
So, although the constituents diffuse around much like what happens in liquids, they maintain
some orientational and sometimes positional order.»
According to Design East, the chandelier is meant as
an orientational light, for strategic soft lighting of dark places.
