RODS http://www.asondheim.org/rods.mp4 long but when hasn't it been worth it learning chinese rod arithmetic (precursor of the abacus); positions slip out but the procedure is simpler and faster. 0 is indicated by place only, - sometimes 5 sometimes 1 | sometimes 5 sometimes 1 place is important the mystery lies in the clearing of the space and its frisson of rearrangement in the bone and skeleton of enumeration bones disappear in evaluation of 0 places slide across surface, skin, world, map Advertisement: The Revenge of Gaia, Earth's Climate Crisis and the Fate of Humanity, James Lovelock, Basic, 2006, is the most important book I've read in years. Read it! -- Alan Sondheim (I'm serious)
