Thanks for setting up this blog, Troy.

I was thinking of GD over the weekend... I had the good fortune of spending two days on a sailboat in the Thousand Islands. Friday evening was warm and a touch humid, yet the sky was clean and clear. Rather than get into my berth in the cabin I lay down in the cockpit to gaze at the starry night. There's virtually no light pollution where we were staying so I was free to stare wide-eyed at the celestial vault in all its magnificence... countless stars shimmering veiled by the gossamer fabric of the milky way. There was no wind; the boat had a very gentle and slow side to side roll to it on account of the wake coming in from the water beyond. Although, I could not feel the boat roll, I knew it was rolling because the stars above were changing position in relation to the mast. I was drifting off to sleep and in that state of semi-somnolence I couldn't figure out whether it was the boat or the celestial vault that was rolling. I thought of the first chapter of The Movement-Image. Why should the space be distinct from the movement? The vacuum created behind the movement changes the space in the same way that movement moves. Who gauges the frame of reference and whose subjectivity? When space is considered as an infinite expanse of homogeneous volume, isn't this the same type of quality we ascribe to time as a scientific constant throughout the universe? Homogeneous time and space are handy fabrications for the sake of analytical simplification. Space in its infinite dimension is not homogeneous and neither is time—just ask David Lynch, he'll tell you— and as we subdivide movement into smaller and smaller differentials of movement it becomes probability and the certainty of the subdivision is lost into nothingness. Ink on a sheet of white paper the shimmering of starlight on the darkness of deep space.
