R -> P

(x,y) The Cartesian coordination system. In order to gather context and an understanding of Kepler's Laws of planetary Motion I went back to brush up on my Trigonometry. Unfortunately ratios and equations such as cos85 = 0.087155 instantaneously loses meaning in my mind. The number as an event of information completely fails to hold and I cannot proceed to the next lesson.

(r,θ) The Polar coordination system, where r=the distance from the origin (0,0) and θ is the angle of the line to a chosen horizontal. The x and y axis are replaced by circular degrees 0, 90, 180, 270. This does something very important by stating graphical occurrences by their connection to an origin point, a center. This center point is what I mislabeled earlier as the action-event 'fulcrum'. A fulcrum is a point at which a lever pivots. It inhabits a two-dimensional plane and we're looking to create stories in three-dimensional space.

Stories are event-scenes where branching occurs between our expectations and what actually happens. There is a mental ratio at play where branches are compared and judged. This is our joy; judgment of information. Too similar and we risk (right brain) dissatisfaction by predictability; too radical and our (left brain) sense of inner structure hits the alarm.

They come in pencil, they come in ink

Feedback received about the first tetrahedron indicated an entropic, debilitating nonsense of time. What I had thought of as an evening had been read as weeks. Wanting for a sense of surrounding was also a comment. A tighter context overall.

My first hypothesis was to make a clear fulcrum action-event to link the actions of four different characters. In considering the characters as character spheres, or specifically as psychological masses given shape and form, we expect more information on a person-representing shape than a single tetrahedron can provide, formal limitations be damned. Fair enough...

Pictures of the completed form are coming soon. For now I'm looking to return to the realm of flat illustration. Are you familiar with Kepler's 2nd Law?
