I nterface distance considered as a dance parameter, personal space is established and sustained in the public domain. The dynamic physical region surrounding an individual is regarded as psychological property. Observing interactions between coffee shop constituents, a singular dispersion model gives different positional relationship results. Most people value their personal space and feel distress, annoyance, or apprehension when their subjective space is encroached.

T ransportation ephemeron breaks down confines and questions the center description versus the periphery margin. An underpass transition boundary is defined by shadow ordained appearance modification. Darker issues frequently populate portal entrances, stimulating imagination. The traveler in space and time actuates the creative process to facilitate energy field navigation.

“Certainty is the mother of quiet and repose, and uncertainty the cause of variance and contentions.” - Edward Coke

O bjects and scenes are always reduced to retinal radiation patterns, ever changing as the energy source shifts in intensity, direction, and constituency. Recognizing the inherently transient nature of appearance, coupled with abstract perceptional cognition, we are dissociated from the reality we project.

“Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be attained only by someone who is detached.” - Simone Weil

O n a short walk across the Vermont College campus, thin-film physics makes a winter appearance contributing aesthetic support to the contemporary art epicenter. Oil spillage from an abandoned vehicle sits atop snow and ice, constructively and deconstructively creating visible radiation waveform interference.

“I have always been very much involved in the pseudo biological cycle of production, consumption and destruction. And for a long time, I have been anguished by the fact that one of its most conspicuous material results is the flooding of our world with junk and rejected odd objects.” - Arman

T he reflective surface qualities of the bark juxtaposed against the watery ice covering the ground creates a wonderful visual response unique to Betula papyrifera.

T ime spent fulfilling conventional expectations. There is considerable futility associated with modern transportation patterns, with enormous amounts of energy spent on repetitive cyclic movement. In the extreme, diurnal commuting to and from specific localized activity sites defines urban culture. Elaborate systems are in place to direct individuals to programmed positions. The agent's desires and beliefs within a social structure are more a product of immersion than freewill motivation.

“If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.” - John F. Kennedy

S currying anonymously with grim determination, intent on reaching a temporary intermediate destination, we follow the culturally positioned procedures.

I f not progress, at least a progression. Involved in a world of ideas, inevitable encounters in the ongoing rush of time provide stimulus to correlate thoughts. Conclusions inferred from multiple observations may be tested by additional observations. As truth is contingent, what is true at certain times will be true in analogous circumstances at all times.

“A piece of knowledge is never false or true - but only more or less biologically and evolutionary useful. All dogmatic creeds are approximations: these approximations form a humus from which better approximations grow.” - Ernst Mach
