fig. 02 / three small solids / ω₁=17s ω₂=23s ω₃=31s
we taught a marble to count. it forgave us. the apparatus prefers thursdays. three solids fall, none of them land. a small thinking object is still an object. do not feed the diagram after midnight. we asked the stone a question; it asked us back. juggling is just gravity, taking turns. we taught a marble to count. it forgave us. the apparatus prefers thursdays. three solids fall, none of them land. a small thinking object is still an object. do not feed the diagram after midnight. we asked the stone a question; it asked us back. juggling is just gravity, taking turns.

the apparatus, in pieces.

FIG. 03 — SCHEMATIC the apparatus accepts a marble at the thought funnel, queues it briefly with its siblings, and then turns the gears2 in the only direction the gears agree on. occasionally a pulley engages and a small forgiveness is delivered to the output tray. we have not yet determined what the forgivenesses are for.
