The Guardian for this meeting was Sylectra Darwin. The comments are by Sylectra Darwin.

Multiverse1 Resident: hi slyectra
Multiverse1 Resident: and alf/
Sylectra Darwin: Well hello Multiverse
Multiverse1 Resident: is that sign language, you are using?
Sylectra Darwin: sign language..no. :)
Sylectra Darwin: Just the gestures that go with my AO.
Sylectra Darwin: Sign language would certainly be more interesting
Multiverse1 Resident: ha, just wondering
Sylectra Darwin: I see Boxy over there, asleep in the grass
Multiverse1 Resident: yes 16 meters
Multiverse1 Resident: probably other occuppied, you?
Sylectra Darwin: What do you mean?
Multiverse1 Resident: curious, did you chose darwin as some metaphor or real? and I was just asking how are you.
Sylectra Darwin: I'm well, thanks! How are you?
Sylectra Darwin: I chose Darwin because it grounds my nature. :)
Multiverse1 Resident: I'm ok too, was watching your AO, and it looks like me in real life.
Sylectra Darwin: My father taught biology and earth science.
Sylectra Darwin: hehe
Multiverse1 Resident: I talk with my hands insesantly
Sylectra Darwin: That seems like a good thing
Sylectra Darwin: does it cause any problems?
Multiverse1 Resident: Evolution, that is why I asked, simply didn't know if it was your real last name or such
Multiverse1 Resident: Yes, my rapport is often taken brackishly or energated maybe.
Multiverse1 Resident: Personal space and such
Multiverse1 Resident: I can become quite annimated
--BELL--
Multiverse1 Resident: It is 80 degrees in my apt. 35 outside and I've opened a window. The heat was malfunctioning, not it won't shut off! Helter Swelter!
Sylectra Darwin: I see.
Sylectra Darwin: Do you ever think your avatar also needs a very animated AO then?
Sylectra Darwin: wow, very hot, sounds like
Sylectra Darwin: I hope you don't have to pay for that heat
Multiverse1 Resident: not important to me, is it to you?
Multiverse1 Resident: is included
Sylectra Darwin: I like to have some kind of natural movement
Multiverse1 Resident: what a waste though
Sylectra Darwin: Not sure whether I care about the typing animation gesture
Sylectra Darwin: agree; a waste
Sylectra Darwin: we pay for oil heat and it's very expensive
Multiverse1 Resident: you can shut the typing off, you know
Sylectra Darwin: we pay $300 per month year round on a payment plan just to heat the house for 5 months per year
Multiverse1 Resident: yes used to have a tank
Multiverse1 Resident: I live in new england
Multiverse1 Resident: It's 36 degrees out, and I have the window open, go figure.
Multiverse1 Resident: was thinking of that before actually
Multiverse1 Resident: what are narrow comfort zone we abide in.
Sylectra Darwin: True
Multiverse1 Resident: thus the open window
Multiverse1 Resident: comfort zones in heat, gesture, language, hmmm
Multiverse1 Resident: narrow for each of us, until we interact. The "laws" of thermodynamics.
Sylectra Darwin: Emerging out of your comfort zone.
Multiverse1 Resident: I don't have an anti-comfort zone, at least not normally
Multiverse1 Resident: but, walls are just an obstacle to be traversed
Sylectra Darwin: Walls are just an obstacle to be traversed...what do you mean? Tell me more.
Multiverse1 Resident: there are if any, very few "closed" systems
Multiverse1 Resident: well your or my comfort zone, for example. If you create a zone, it infers containment.
Multiverse1 Resident: or a wall
Multiverse1 Resident: or many walls
Multiverse1 Resident: depending on the system
Sylectra Darwin: nods
Sylectra Darwin: So how can interacting cause our comfort zones to change?
Multiverse1 Resident: so, they are like a bump in the road.
Multiverse1 Resident: it is interaction , in any regard
Multiverse1 Resident: you are projected into the next trajectory
Sylectra Darwin: Would my comfort zone become more limited or more broad if I encountered the right person, I wonder?
Multiverse1 Resident: each of us wonders
Multiverse1 Resident: I would be the "left" person in your example however.
Multiverse1 Resident: want to try an experiment?
--BELL--
Sylectra Darwin: Sure, what did you have in mind?
Multiverse1 Resident: I want you to pick a point visible to you anywhere
Multiverse1 Resident: now, pick a second point somewhere
Sylectra Darwin: ok
Multiverse1 Resident: I want you to tell me how many directions are possible from A to B?
Multiverse1 Resident: Then hold your arm out strait to the right
Sylectra Darwin: seems like just one since they are 5 inches apart in a straight line with nothing between.
Multiverse1 Resident: the point at the end and the point at the beginning have every other point in common to them both
Multiverse1 Resident: there is every possible direction from a to b
Multiverse1 Resident: left and right are but 2 of them
Sylectra Darwin: Sure, makes sense.
Multiverse1 Resident: by seeing the straight line, or the "right" you have created the wall or bump
Multiverse1 Resident: you then go to the next point in your journey from a to b
Multiverse1 Resident: if you step "up" for the 1st step, then at some point in the future you will need to step "down to arrive at b
Sylectra Darwin: along the bump, so to speak?
Multiverse1 Resident: the bumps are not real, but only perceived.
Multiverse1 Resident: we create the comfort zones wallss , do we not?
Multiverse1 Resident: I know it's all jiberish, perhaps you can replace the log with an empty box?
Multiverse1 Resident: was just pondering "directions" all day is all, and how many directions there trully are.
Sylectra Darwin: It's true, we do.
Sylectra Darwin: lol
Sylectra Darwin: And then there are the kind that you give and the kind that you take
Multiverse1 Resident: whatt do you mean by that? Can you clarify?
Multiverse1 Resident: It's the flatland thing again. We see in a strsight line, as you saw the , what you felt quickest way from a to b.
Sylectra Darwin: sorry, I got interrupted by a visitor
Multiverse1 Resident: want to wrap myself in what you termed "comfort zone" now.
--BELL--
Sylectra Darwin: Directions - the kind you give and the kind you take. :)
Multiverse1 Resident: Finnally can breathe in here, down to 76 now, whew
Multiverse1 Resident: oh, you are referring to imposing walls upon yourself or others.
Multiverse1 Resident: Directions you can give or take
Multiverse1 Resident: I am talking about the freeflow of directions instead. Kind of from the end rather than the beginning is all.
Multiverse1 Resident: An "any" directional thing
Multiverse1 Resident: by envisioning the line from a to b , you create a direction. I f you eliminate the time from a to b it is instantaneous.
Sylectra Darwin: It was a play on words but also how you can choose a way that has more force based on your perception of whether it should have.
Multiverse1 Resident: like when you said the "right" word, which caused my omni directional compass to come online
Multiverse1 Resident: force, the velocity from a to be, when time is involved
Multiverse1 Resident: energy expended also
Multiverse1 Resident: great crowd here tonight hey?
Multiverse1 Resident: lol
Multiverse1 Resident: couldn't resist Sylectra
Sylectra Darwin: lol
Sylectra Darwin: yeah, sorry about the standing room only conditions
Multiverse1 Resident: and is Boxy still around, or is he a square.
Multiverse1 Resident: maybe he needs oil
Multiverse1 Resident: like the tinmaan
Sylectra Darwin: he's a square who's around.
Sylectra Darwin: hee hee
Multiverse1 Resident: what do you do for vocation in rl Sylectra?
Sylectra Darwin: visit family
Multiverse1 Resident: nice, just curious
Sylectra Darwin: would love to visit breweries, that's what we do if we can fit it in
Sylectra Darwin: and you?
Multiverse1 Resident: we have a brewery bar in my city. The vats are Huge. I move things from point a to b. I am a logistics person.
--BELL--
Multiverse1 Resident: shipping
Sylectra Darwin: aha, that makes perfect sense
Multiverse1 Resident: Slyectra, it has been a pleasant experience, conversing with you for this tyme. Thanx for your presence here this tyme period.
Sylectra Darwin: Youre welcome, thank you as well!
Sylectra Darwin: I must go for the evening
Sylectra Darwin: See you again soon!
Multiverse1 Resident: hope to see, meet or encounter you again
