connected (metaphork) tines
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.

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 system
to 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)]
