“What can we compare with the weaknesses that make up a force? A macramé. Is there a knot that links men to men, neurons to neurons, or sheets of iron to sheets of iron? No. The rope of this Gordian knot has not yet been woven. But every day we see before our very eyes a macramé of strings of different colors, materials, origins, and lengths, from which we hang our most cherished goods.”

Bruno Latour, Irreductions (1984)
