metaphork

(also Ortando's Way)In Limited Fork Theory metaphor(or metaphork) systems, the number of ends or origins and destinations of an equivalence or equation is open; objects interacting in the comparison are not limited to two. The ends of metaphork may split and split, birfucate and bifurcate endlessly, someone studying the metaphork system determining for some reason a logic of a field of consideration, investigating some number of birfurcations. Any branch of splitting units of metaphor may itself split endlessly, infinities of similarity, that occur as mutation occurs on some scale in the folding and unfolding of metaphork collaboration; infnities of similarity able to embrace on some scale in some location for some duration of time everything.

Sita Sings the Blues

an animated film by Nina Paley embraces Limited Fork Theory in its least selfish iterations, not just seizing stuff with the tines, but using those fantastic openings between tines to give back the story that Paley acknowledges already belongs to all. This film connects globally, telling parts of all stories in order to tell well one story. The film is available for free download, and may be extended, the continuing tines of story told, outcomes of interactions (collaborations) with Sita Sings the Blues may be expressed under the generosity of a creative commons share-alike license.slide 1FORK LINKSslide 2A Guide to a very partial list of Great Forking Linkswhere principles of Limited Fork Theory thriveTop Gear Car-Boat challengeTop Gear Limousine challengeTop Gear.comTop Gear might be more Limited Forked than forkergirl! --And what a tine the Stig is!slide 3slide 4TED: Ideas Worth SpreadingJorge Luis Borges:The Garden of Forking Pathsforking website!Mardi Gras: Made in Chinaslide 5Forked without nose eyewearfrom Spoonman Creations(a major source of all of forkergirl's fork barrettes)Dolls Like Me (multiracial dolls)kna'Knox.comThe Sound Art Foundationslide 6American Mavericks:Harry Partch's Instruments(a site where virtual forms of many of Harry Partch's instruments may be played)forkergirl particle popsslide 7Harry Partch information centerThe Garden of Jorge Luis Borgesa site where many Borges stories, essays, and poems may be experienced, especially:The Circular Ruins, The Mirrors of Enigma, and The Library of BabelStrange Mapsslide 8Seniora Fork Chair by Ignacio Ruizas seen at PopgadgetBilly Collins - The Best CigarettePage 9audible textiles by alyce santoroSonic Fabric.comOnyx OinkStephen Gill's amazing portfolioof time and other interactionsPage 10Extreme Ironing.comJeremy Clarkson endorses extreme ironingDesigner ironing boardsPage 11From Magis - The Amieto ironing board as offered by Unica Home.comAndy Goldsworthy (from Rivers and Tides)slide 1slide 2slide 3slide 4slide 5slide 6slide 7slide 8Page 9Page 10Page 11

Metaphork is a system, a factory, a generator, a sustainer of collaboration; the entanglement that occurs allows both direct and indirect influence, difficulties in determining what has sole responsibility for successes and failures. More than usually receive credit have had some hand (a form of fork) in that success, in that failure, in that authorship,in that ownership. The source is a bifurcaing system that splits and connects and reconnects within and outside itself. Metaphork at times is like a puzzle trying to put itself together, but the pieces are in flux, changing, but somehow not enough to avoid imperfect junctures(that canbe promising and innovative in their imperfections). Metaphork is able to function as a mapping systemto access anything/everything. It can establish connections, form circuits, can navigate paths and possibilitiesof meaning the metaphork forks out of flux; a juggler architect of temporaty form, temporary structure.[In Ortando's Way: ( current research indicates the use of metaphor activates both hemispheres of the brain toward richer conceptual understanding)]
