one of my favorite quotes. The sentence following this quote tells us what he is writing about:

"Au terme de son évolution, la machine se dissimule"

I don't dare to translate it to English. In the German book, it's "Die Maschine in ihrer höchsten Vollendung wird unauffällig".

Достаточный минимум.

I do not know how to accurately translate into English.

A long time ago, this photograph was for me the first vivid example of a достаточного минимума.
