In my opinion, connectedness is the other side of dividedness. If
there were no dividedness there wouldn't be any connectedness either.
And for "dividedness" to exist there should be someone to divide.
As there are no "divider" at a quantum level, there are no dividedness
and so no connectedness either.
All this may seem to you pure sophism and demagogy but it is not. It is
important point of MOQ. What we see as [divided] objects is only
appearances. Illusion. What are things in themselves (and IF THERE ARE ANY)
we cannot possibly know. We may only BELIEVE they do exist and call them
"Value", "Quality", "God", "Spirit" or whatever else.

Not very new :-) This realization is at least a couple
of thousands years old (in the EAST) :-)

I think it definitely deserves drinking to it! :-)
Friendly yours,
Ilya.
