whose net hangs over his palace on Mount Meru, the axis mundi of Vedic cosmology and Vedic mythology. Indra's net has a multifaceted jewel at each vertex, and each jewel is reflected in all of the other jewels:​

Escuela Huayan

Francis Harold Cook describes the metaphor of Indra's net from the perspective of the Huayan school in the book Hua-Yen Buddhism: The Jewel Net of Indra:

Far away in the heavenly abode of the great god Indra, there is a wonderful net which has been hung by some cunning artificer in such a manner that it stretches out infintely in all directions. In accordance with the extravagant tastes of deities, the artificer has hung a single glittering jewel in each "eye" of the net, and since the net itself is infinite in dimension, the jewels are infinite in number. There hang the jewels, glittering like stars in the first magnitude, a wonderful sight to behold. If we now arbitrarily select one of these jewels for inspection and look closely at it, we will discover that in its polished surface there are reflected all the other jewels in the net, infinite in number. Not only that, but each of the jewels reflected in this one jewel is also reflecting all the other jewels, so that there is an infinite reflecting process occurring.​

Gödel, Escher, Bach

Hofstadter uses Indra's Net as a metaphor for the complex interconnected networks formed by relationships between objects within a system-- including social networks, the interactions of particles, and the "symbols" which stand for ideas within a brain or intelligent computer.

Recordando principios elementales de Wikipedia

Parece una obviedad lo que voy a apuntar, pero esta es Wikipedia en español. Si existen comentarios a un artículo, se agradecería que fuera en el idioma en el que aquí nos expresamos. Y si alguien quiere mantener el artículo en el idioma original, debe tomarse el trabajo de traducirlo. Pensar que todos los hispanohablantes tenemos la obligación de leer fluidamente el inglés, solo porque es una lengua usualmente utilizada como lengua franca, es totalmente insustancial. Si yo escribiera en castellano en la wikipedia en inglés, no esperaría respuesta, porque mi comentario sería simplemente ignorado (¿Qué porcentaje de angloparlantes lee fluidamente el castellano?) o tal vez alguien con mucho interés por lo que estoy colocando me advertiría de lo que estoy colocando. Por favor, traduzcan los comentarios en inglés. Que la vanidad del antiguo imperialismo no les obnubile una comprensión más cabal de las cosas. Pablei (discusión) 15:14 2 may 2020 (UTC)
