Dear Tamsen and Jan,
I have submitted the works to an arrangement logic, at the request of you both. I utilise a system where the qualities of things are determined by the use of a pendulum. Adopting a simple yes/no strategy, the pendulum allows me to read material presented to me using various levels of consciousness. It is dependent on my capacities to ask valid questions and my ability to focus without willing answers. It allows for outcomes unavailable to left brain logics .
