Twelve signs of the zodiac. Seven animal symbols, four human; I had to be born under the one sign that had no life. Inanimate, dead.
2. Balancing Act
Libra is represented by the scales which figure balance. Or, equilibrium, to use a scientific term. Yes, what better way to pretend at life than by looking at it scientifically? As if everything were still, constant. Controlled.
3. Scientific Method
In science, a universe can be simplified into a system and its surroundings. In an experiment, a system can be studied by keeping certain variables constant or changing.
A simplification: Picture a woman, and let her be the system. Put something she desires in her immediate surroundings: food, books, a vacation. She will reach out to take it. Change the surroundings, and instead put in something she fears. She will cringe, her hand will recoil.
4. Theory
If something a woman desires is within her reach, she will hold out her hand to take it. If it is something she fears, she will recoil.
Is this true?
5. Null Hypothesis
If there is nothing in the woman's surroundings, she will look for two things: that which she desires, and that which she fears. She will pursue the first and avoid the second.
6. Experiment
aaa6.1 If she finds only that which she desires, will she be content? Or will she be forever looking over her shoulder?
aaa6.2 If she finds only that which she fears, she will run, yes. But toward which direction?
aaa6.3 What if something the woman equally desires and fears is put in front of her? How will she react? How am I to react?
7. Results
aaa7.1 The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
A simplification: A is in contact with B, and B is with C; but A is not in contact with C. If A is of a higher temperature than C, and B can conduct heat, then heat will travel from A to C through B, until all three are of the same temperature. Then the system (A, B, and C) is in thermal equilibrium.
aaa7.2 Rev 3:15-16
"I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."
aaa7.3 I don't know. I am lost. There's a poem in here, somewhere.
