lorem ipsum (foreground versus background)
In foreground angle is constrained, whereas in background speed is constrained. (- obvious when stated, but easy to overlook) keywords: [life] [General Systems Theory] [reciprocity]
OBSERVATION (substrate)
Location is the ultimate substrate. keywords: [Physics] [support] [progress]
lorem ipsum (boredom)
Boredom is symptomatic of lack of data. keywords: [life] [priority] [priorities] [fresh activity]
OBSERVATION (documents)
The ultimate purpose of any document is to give you the choice as to whether a certain door be open or closed. keywords: [life] [progress] [advancement] [continuous improvement] [data]

an honest straight line
(suggested new terminology) Definition. An honest straight line is the macroscopic version of a straight staircase. keywords: [geometry] [stepwise progress] [step-wise progress] [step function]
lorem ipsum (patience)
Definition. Patience consists of accepting step-wise improvement (as opposed to straight-line improvement). keywords: [life] [progress] [continuous improvement] [effort] [advancement]
RECIPROCITY (anti-symmetry)
The more symmetric the location, the less symmetric the object. (--> breaking symmetry) keywords: [life] [General Systems Theory]
OBSERVATION (bank shots)
The purpose of a bank shot is often (always?) to break symmetry – e.g., a train backing up in the station before going forward out of the station, and the secret to being able to tear a telephone book in half with your bare hands being to first ‘scaffold’ it (cf: “Divide and conquer.”).
