¶ Rope
RBF Definitions
“Physicists have never discovered any straight lines in Universe. They have discovered only waves which are inherently curvilinear, that is, they are corkscrew or spiral traceries between covariable events, such as You and Me, with our relationship identified by a rope stretched between us with two reels at each end to pay out as we move independently with varying lags in the rate of the rope’s response to other forces acting upon it than thos of our two independent pulls, as for instance the effect of wind on the rope; or the Earth’s gravitational heated expansion of the rope; and the lag or inertia of the rope in changing the rope’s shapes given it progressively by You, Me, the wind, gravity, Sun, and atoms of which the rope itself is composed, whose behaviors are very directionally discrete in order to give the rope its unique recognizability.”
