OBSERVATION 028
Press the picture and the points thin out. There are four rungs —
forty thousand, six hundred, forty, one. The equation running underneath does not change.
Only the shape goes.
“Listen” is the same bundle of relations, thrown to the ear instead of the eye.
No sound was added; the same equation is put out through another sense.
The head barely moves.
A wave crosses from front to back.
The further back, the wider the swing.
The tail fin is the latest, and swings widest.
It follows after the body has finished swinging.
The pectoral fins and the dorsal fin do not move themselves.
They are only carried by the body.
From directly above the tail fin becomes a line; from the side the swing cannot be seen.
This is seen from neither.

Run at any time, by anyone, it appears in the same form.
No randomness, no clock, nothing from the environment.
The button above takes the equation out as it is. To count it again yourself:
