(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.
