falter faltering because falling through black-space in and out of black space doing the avatar dance faltering while falling "The joy the avatar brings to the world's cold winter is the joy of weatherless dance and limbs akimbo." doing the avatar dance and weathering the world outside which is characterized by inclemency, immobility, dissolution of all sustenance that humans hold good "Creatures are nourished within themselves in innocence, and it is this nourishment which parallels the other." faltering because every step topples every other there are infinite normal modes in a linear system with longitudinal waves composed of equally-spaced and weighted spheres, and for all purposes, from avadance to avasound, these normal modes are not harmonic they exist in irrational relationships to one another the boundary conditions might or might not be equivalent any ongoing configuration of the nodes under any excitation except for null excitation never returns to any particular state; each state appears once, each state is defined by dx/dt and the very characterization of a state is problematic not to mention the issue of noise in the system for we are considering an ideal system, one formed within the geodesics, coordinates, and matrices, not to mention multi-dimensional arrays and indices, not to mention noise among the indices as they increase perhaps infinitely "The state is constituted by flux, porous and fuzzy boundaries, and avadance is a just response to the very condition of the state, which cannot catch a fleeing avatar." Kira Sedlock: "Avadance is what I call what we do when we dance like avatars, but how do avatars dance?" Azure Carter: "They are always in flight." Foofwa d'Imobilite: "Aren't we all." not to mention the irregular lines of flight or chreods which only appear to follow trajectories, but within these multi-dimensional manifolds, anything goes, you never know what is crossing what, or what will take you where virtual solid manifolds possess the potential energy of faltering they exist in irrational relationships to one another, in other words they hardly have any reason within the space for appearing as-such or perhaps hardly any reason without the space as well, that is, outside the space or within the space of the presencing of the space within. but of course there are reasons, and reasons and reasons, and one might as well think of avadance as that surplus which has nothing to do with any of this, faltering on the high-beam or uneven bars, for example, not exactly anything anyone would want to do but there are crowds and audiences anyone may learn avadance Maud Liardon: "Do you say 'learn avadance' or 'learn to avadance'?" or falter, that's what one might do in these occasions what occasions if not all occasions that's the kink in the chain that brings it back to the start, here is a faltering avadancer as sutured knot, closing the manifold all over again Alan Sondheim: "Avadancers never falter." they never falter because escape the halter, they ought to totter: avadance they come to greet hir: avadance on the way down: avadance on the way up: avadance suturing with needle and thread, not here, not there, avadancer! open the manifolds: avadancer! falter failure: avadancer! s/he's out of here here. they're out of here. http://www.alansondheim.org/faltering0.png http://www.alansondheim.org/faltering1.png http://www.alansondheim.org/faltering2.png http://www.alansondheim.org/faltering3.png http://www.alansondheim.org/faltering4.png http://www.alansondheim.org/faltering5.png http://www.alansondheim.org/faltering6.png http://www.alansondheim.org/faltering7.png http://www.alansondheim.org/faltering8.png http://www.alansondheim.org/faltering9.png Kira says hello.
