movement and action in space

Space places two fundamental constraints (that are reflected in though) on movement: proximity—near places are easier to get to than far ones; and gravity—going up is more effortful than going down. We change those moving things (freeze them, turn them into words and concepts) into static things so that we can act on them with our minds.

Action in space came long before language, as did thought based on action in space … actions in space change space, (create things we put in space), change ourselves, and change others … change our thought and the thought of others.

We look for patterns, … create structure, too, in actions, in talk, in communities, in science, in art—painting, sculpture, film, dance, poetry, drama, opera, journalism, fiction, music. … sometimes we just deconstruct and even destroy, to see what happens, to shake things up, to find new structures.
