when you say "like a complex machine" do you mean that it is actually something else, but it has a machine-like effect on our physical world?

the rings, hexagon/cube, eye - they are mechanism of something else, right? what are they mechanisms of? saturn has a lot of undesirable qualities (jealous, controlling, cannibalism, etc)...is this due to bad press, misunderstanding, or should it be approached with the same decorum as walking through a viper pit?
