Index Entry
Walking:
"If you have one post you have to keep it balanced or it falls. Stand it up and it falls over. . . What happens for instance if you are on stilts. You have got your two legs. You move one. So you lift this leg up over here and you stop yourself. If you have such a power of the momentum of the hinging of the specific direction. But it is very easy to frustrate by putting it over here and out comes a new hinge. . . And so all we’re doing when we’re walking, we are continually falling on hinges in the specific directions which you can frustrate by turning into a tetrahedron so we have nothing but dynamic tetrahedron. . .
