Elements for a possible SF story, #2: Outline, characters, backgrounds, concepts of love and bonding

I have decided to drop the invasion story line.

This post deals with the characters, their world and their bonds.

Title: Limiter

Story, characters, bonding

Main themes

Love, lost love, pain, memories of pain, privacy, limiters, change, disruption and distruction of belief systems.

The body-embedded quantum computers finds it’s way to the new generation of Europeans although “common sense” would advise to stay away from it for the implicit risks when the technology is not contained. People are for- and people are against the introduction.

War is fought in the world of ideas, concepts and artificial constructs. Physical war (people killing people) is nothing more than useless excess waste from this process. Stuff that did not work got crooked and found it’s way from the world of bad ideas and stupid people into the physical world of human to human conflict. In the end, it is the war of financial leverage, contracts and agreements that decide who is the real winner and not the body count or the ground you conquered.

We are no longer able to move around being undetected and anonymous. We have lost these two things that made us “free”.

Limiters protect us from states and governments taking control over our lives and our thoughts due to stupidity. Limiters also hold back development.

Main story line

DISCOVERY – plot that is the most character-centered of all, involves the Protagonist having to overcome an upheavel(s) in their life, and thereby discovering something important (and buried) within them a better understanding of life (i.e., better appreciation of their life, a clearer purpose in their life, etc.)

[to be filled in]

Secondary story lines

RESCUE – this plot involves the Protagonist searching for someone or something, usually consisting of three main characters – the Protagonist, the Victim & the Antagonist.

ESCAPE – plot involves a Protagonist confined against their will who wants to escape (does not include some one trying to escape their personal demons).

Points of view / narratives

The story will cover four narritive forms:

1. First person (“i”): The main character
2. Second person (“you”): People the main character connects to via her embedded system as an observer
3. Third person (“[name]“, he, she) :
4. Fourth person (“we”): the group the main character connects to in a group “close-to-telepathy” sharing

World

Year: 2063

There are several invisible wars going on. All are on the level of information. These wars regard:

1. Economics and the flow of money and financial leverage (scams, minipulation of stock markets, manipulation of global markets, leaking true and misguiding information, destroying reputations, overtaking multinationals, fall of nations)
2. Social models of operation (religious, socialist, humanist, communist, fascist / control state)
3. Freedom of movement (people, false democracies, dictatorships, fall of nations)
4. Manipulation of public and social media (news, background)
5. The creation and destruction of reputation (personal, people)
6. The falsification of history and the present times
7. The falsification of people / identities (to gain a false identity and surpass the monitorring systems, you need delicate leverage, raw power, knowledge)
8. Purpose and sense of purpose. (National pride, national identities, ways to move for the future)

The world-economy has been fucked over and sideways by Nigerian and Russian organized crime who made a leap to more legal ways of working when they crossed the threshold [describe which] where power grabbing warped into concious use of that power as the easiest way to keep that power. (Humanitarism and social models as a cold and ruthless business model for low cost and fast forward product- and service development.)

Weather has become more extreme in the 2030’s and has been stabelized to more normal factors in 2063. Deserts and scraped forest areas are being restored in new programs based on voluntary work by youth aging 16 to 25.

New companies rise out of nothing and become new economic powers. New economies are formed. Europe has become a museum of has been world politics and has been social, technological and cultural innovation. The USA has barely survived bunkrupcy and is completely owned by foreign powers. Mostly Asian, Russian and African. Africa is the new front runner. Europe is on the brink of moving to the embedded systems Afrika is using for decades now. Asia has been blown into stasis and is slowly recovering from the shock.

All these wars are fought when we are sleeping. For the eye of the common person, the world still looks the same the next day. The only traces you see are the headlines in the news.

Main character:

The main character is 29 and born and raised in Africa. Her bones are interlaced with strings forming interlinked quantum computers paired to silicon based processors. Her system is interlinked with many others using paired photons, forming mesh-networks indifferent to distance and independent of any outside technology: of which “nodes” can be interconnected and used for high speed data transfers. These embedded systems are used to run simulations based on game-theory: mathematics calculating the most optimal outcomes of different scenarios. The simulation software used is open source and distributed for free.

She has worked in the forests, where kids and young adults from all over the world meet, work, rebuild, learn, learn to use their bodies as instruments, fall in love, fuck, get gritty, learn discipline, learn new cultures and other modes of thinking. (It is there where the kids get the idea of the possibilities of embedded systems above the externals they use. And the possibilities of constantly running simulations for optimal choices and self development. All Western societies and the former Russian countries are still behind as the surgery and the implications of fully embedded systems are regarded as too high a risk regarding hacking and possible uncontrolled growth due to the use of reprogramming matter / molecules on quantum levels.)

She moves to Europe to consult and assist in the introduction of the embedded systems her people are using now for a decade, as the demand has led to the introduction of legal clinics. The main reason is that the uneven distribution of these systems is already creating a disbalance in Europe, leading to abuse and new forms of crime. (Things her country and continent already went through.) The biggest challenge Europe has to face is to accept the change and the instability that will warp them into a new state of being. It is unavoidable. It requires adequate actions. It requires new views on rulings and social and the review of all governmental limiters: which at this moment in time only create crappy new rulings aimed at stopping something unstoppable and only create more confusion as the models they are based on are no longer valid.

She shows “weakness” i.e. “being emotional” as a sign of strength.

She is raised in a communal environment. Parenthood is plural. Raising children is done by the community. Blood-parents are the end-responsible. Love and bonding is plural as well. The community is family regardles of blood bonds. There are hierarchies in attachments, as blood parents are clearly distinguished as such. Children can however adopt other people in the community as their “emotional” parents and hang out there, sleep there and eat there. In most cases they will move to other parents chosen on their personal development. In the case where there is no time or space for a child, alternative solutions are sought by either the child, the chosen parents, or both.

The strength of mutual bonding is based on respect, loyalty tot the person and overlapping interests. Sexual bonding is non-relevant for long term relationships as “lust is like a butterfly”. Monogamy considered to be odd unless the choice is from the heart. Losing respect for a close person regarding their choice of sexual/emotional partners does play a role.

Posessions are shared. Acceptance is group-related. If one dislikes you, there are always others that will like you and adopt you. The save haven and educational environment for a kid is not dependent on the blood parents. The group feels responsible for the group. Misfits will not drop out. The group corrects. If you want something, you simply go and ask. No is a possible answer and considered neutral.

Individual development is highly regarded. Humanness considered the main trait to develop.

Choosing relationships and moving from one deep relationship to another is based on the experience of abundance. Sharing is chosen over exclusion. Exclusion and non-sharing for no clear reason (keeping things for yourself) is considered to be silly, strange, but respected as a personal eccentric trait.

Competition is a game you play and not taken seriously by most. Helping others the main drive. As a society, compared to western models, it is stagnant. The driving forces for continuous progression lacks as “good” is good enough. Connected to the world and part of the New Generation or S-gen or “the S-generation” (from “Simulation Generation” which derives from “Generation of kids running simulations to define the most optimal choice”) they are aware of the world at large and feel a string creative stimulation to play with the possibilities this world offers.

Three years before the time period of the story, she has been part of a group of people victim of a suicide bomber in a humanitarian mission. Her memories of dead bodies, disfigured by the explosion, scorched by fire, of limbs ripped off, organs like spilled meat fuming damp in the cold air — are still strong.

The Privacy Consultant / the lover

The lover is born and raised in Paris, Europe. She has been trained in may things of which Economics and European law. She is working for the European government as a privacy consultant. Her main specialism revolves around limiters: the factors which define whether something will explode in your face, or will slowly evolve. She distrusts any form of government, as they are manned by people. Her computer is mainly external. She has some embedded hardware, but that is minimal. Being naked is to disconnect from her machine.

Running simulations is normal in her environment, but not as embedded as it is for the world the main character is coming from. Futhermore, her background and perception is to use simulations only in a limited manner. For study and work. Not as an integral part of her life. Connections to others in her peer group is based on voice and vision. Total physical immersion is an alien concept for her. Exceptions are the youth, who experiment with the possibilities of tactile feedback in games and with their lovers.

Europe has gone through a period of shock which set back the clock for social developments set in motion in the 2000’s, where the youth started to interconnect in new social ways. In the period from 2010 to 2030 anti-immigrant sentiments reigned, leading to separation and segregation due to a dumbing down in the newsmaking in public media: leading to social confusion, loss of jobs and social protests.

Privacy is something from the past. It no longer exists. Physical location, physical responses and physical and non physical actions are logged and tracked constantly. The only governmental limiters regarding abuse are rulings and several organizations monitoring the following of these rulings: rules created by- and agreed upon by people.

One of these rules is that pre-cognition of potential misdeed can not be used for legal action, either in arrest or a warning. The right to have a free will (listed in the bill of human rights) prevails. People opposing this ruling and demanding for pre-arrest miss the point that the release of this rule will create a state where people lose their privacy and consequently might lose their freedom to think what they want, might lose the right to have a will of their own.

The face of organized crime has changed due to this. True organized crime borders on the verge of illigality and is based on easy money making based on conceit / misdirection.

She has met the main character on a cooking weekend (Delicate Food) in Antwerp  and during that weekend developed a deep bond (see below) for each other. The conncting moment was where they joined to make a tiramisu. Her parents are separated. The world she grew up in is one of isolation and soltitude and what Scott Peck would have called a pseudocommunity. She choose her lovers mostly “just to have someone around”. In most cases these relationships stranded within a year. She was 11 when her parents divorced, after 5 years living past each other in cold resentment. To shock her mother – whom she considered to be a cold and inconsiderate bitch – she starved and in the end killed all three guinea pigs — bought by her mother without really consenting her “so that she could learn responsibility looking after a living creature” — by using rat poison. Revenge on her father was by ruining all his suits with fire and on both she waged cold war for years by sabotaging both their lives in very subtle and hard to trace ways. This ended when she became 15 and got bored by it. She is only child.

To love the main character means opening up and show her vulnerability. It means failing in pretending to come, or pretending to be aroused. It means being together and accepting her own flaws and those of the main character. It means no longer having to tell stories to please the other. It means letting go of any self censorship. It means accepting her own body. It fucks her up, but at the same time she feels at ease.

She and the main character are separated for weeks in a row. And together in random islands of time: mainly defined by their professional work.

When the story begins, she has this thing going on for a guy at her new workspace. She has the hots for him and wants to fuck the guy. Badly. The main character states in the second chapter: “You can fuck anyone you like, and if I like him, why would I be bothered at all?”. This will introduce the discussion about sex, bonding and love. Including intellectual references.  The fuck-boy himself only plays a minor role.

Their work makes that they are physically seperated sometimes for weeks.

The Adobe guy

The Adobe Guy introduces conflict in the story. As an agent “for the other side” it is part of his assignment to disrupt the life of the main character. This process reaches the critical point when she is confronted with footage resembling the situation she was in after the suicide bomber attack: people disfigured in the rumbles of destroyed and damaged hardware.

Bonding

Directions and connection count

1. Singular: only one of the people feels a bond
2. Mutual: both feel a bond
3. Plural: multiple people hare feeling of bond
4. Plural-excluded: multiple people feel bond to a person that does return the feeling of a bond with the group

Type

1. Collegual: working together, sharing simular goals, non competative
2. Collateral/Secondary: excluded from other groups, shared awareness of non-belonging to other groups, nothing else there
3. Friendship: liking each other, sharing similar interests, non competative
4. Political: shared similar goals, mutual benefits for a certain period
5. Contractual: object or goal is primary the binding factor
6. Role based: role is primary the binding factor for bond

Strenght / intensity

1. Weak bonding: interchangable, replacable, maximum of two out of five overlapping elements
2. Medium level bonding: not easy to replace, liking, three out of five overlapping elements
3. Strong bonding: four out of five overlap. Strong liking. Strong feelings of connection.
4. Deep bonding: five out of five overlap. Liking another deeply, deep feelings of connection due to matching interests, overlapping goals

Manifestation types

1. Destructive (singular and mutual, self, other or outward bound): bond serves one sided or mutual longing for destruction. Either of the other (abusive), each other (destructive), the self (mutilative) or something or someone external (outward bound destructive)
2. Selfish: bonding serves own purposes and satisfaction. Other party is instrumental only to fulfill personal satisfaction. Can be either parasitic or symbiotic in case other is “born to give”
3. Neutral: bonding serves no specific emotional need
4. Cooperative: bonding serves shared sense of progression
5. Creative: bonding leads to heightened creativity / higher output
6. Competative: bonding is based on striving for the same item that is percieved as “rare” or “unique”. Relationship can be either friendly or hostile

Emotional charge (singular / bi-directional)

1. Hate: from sharing similar interests or goals, denying the other from reaching results with strong

Love

Elements of attraction:

1. Overlap: of interests
2. Respect: esteem for, or a sense of the worth or excellence of, a person, a personal quality, ability, or a manifestation of a personal quality or ability
3. Liking: sympathy, liking, feeling or sense of attraction in non-sexual ways
4. Bonding: connected, sharing deeper commonalities
5. Appreciation: experiencing positive emotional stimuli as a result of actions and expressions by the other
6. Longing: for something that is not there yet, but could happen. Emotional and/or mental trip in “what could happen”
7. Lust: bodily and (second) emotional response to the other, regarding sexual and sensual actions that could be performed.

Forms of bonding:

1. Singular: one way

“Help the NPOX Festival to get their RoomWare Installation”

[to be edited for final version] At Reboot11 I was approached by Marieke Hermans: if we could do a RoomWare installation at their event. On the morming of Juli 9, 2009 I had a meeting with three members of the NPOX Festival team.

The main theme of these festivals (this will the 3rd) is – in my words: “To introduce, promote and advocate the new thinking of sharing and cooperation as is common ground for Open Source Projects”

At the NPOX Festival (see the festival site of 2008) more than a thousand media professionals (Radio and TV) get together: writers, researchers, journalists, planners, presenters, programmers, content managers and so on.

The initial investment for a RoomWare installation with hardware and software is between 30.000 to 50.000 euro.

The NPOX simply does not have that budget.

So today I started the first part of a campaign to “Help NPOX to get their RoomWare Installation”. You can respond with tips and leads using the “Leave a reply” box at the bottom of this post.

Here is the plan:

1. To find one or more parties, “the Sponsor”, who have a clear added value to the RoomWare installation we will use at the NPOX 2009 festival
2. To create a complete solution catering festivals, events and venues
3. To have the Sponsor sponsor the costs to create this RoomWare Event / Venue solution

Here is the approach:

1. The RoomWare application will be created in such a way that it is applicable for the NPOX festival and directly applicable to cater the needs of the Sponsor
2. It will be launched at the NPOX Festival
3. After the NPOX festival it will be installed in the venue of the Sponsor

This is what we can build:

1. A tracking and tracing system for people within the venue. Based on a simple BlueTooth device people get when entering the venue the flow of people can be tracked in real time. This information can be used to:
   1. Optimize the space and the flow of people in that space
   2. Help people to find other people (“Where the F#ck is [anyperson]?” and “Tell me who matchs with [anypreference]“)
   3. Display user generated content, like photo’s, blog posts and twitter feeds
   4. Change the mood of the space, based on i.e. a balanced collection of the personal musical preferences of the people in the room
   5. Re-trace who was with whom in that same space
2. A RFID-tag based link and presentation system. Using RFID-tags connected to personal public profiles, RFID-tags can be used to:
   1. Connect people using public services like LinkedIn and FaceBook
   2. Recieve a personalized agenda of the event and venue based on personal preferences (using proximity and scheduled time to define priorities)
   3. Show your different (professional) outings as part of the conversation
   4. Tag places and events for later recall
   5. Vote on objects or events (“I like it”, “I do not like it”) and track these votes real time

Where a RoomWare installation like this comes in handy

Finding people: a RoomWare installation linked to personal profiles can cater you in finding people fast and effectively while being there. When you are on an event like the NPOX Festival; where you can expand your network, potentially meet a lot of new people sharing the same interest, or requiring your services, or who can potentially solve one or another problem.

Connecting to people directly: Instead of collecting business cards, you can potentially directly connect to the person and the public services you share, like Linked In and FaceBook. The system can immediately send out an e-mail stating that you linked using the RFID-tags and when and where this happened. If your profile includes the links to these public services you can also link via that.

Find commonalities and added values: Public data from services like LinkedIn can show you which contacts you have in common or how you are connected while you are talking. If you have basic data like showcases, you can present them directly – showing who you are, what you do and what you have achieved.

Tagging places and events for after service: Using the RFID-tag or Bluetooth ID’s connected to your profile, you can tag- or bookmark a talk, a place or something else you are interested in for later reference. For instance, if a talk is recorded and photo’s are made, the moment this material is released online you will be notified.  All the people you were with in a room at a certain moment can be found so making connections afterward is easy.

Tracking and tracing the flow of people: As mentioned before, using the RoomWare  data you can see how many people were in a room at a certain time, how they moved and how this relates to the goals you stated. You can track back the number of people who attended lectures or talks or specific spaces of your exhibition. You can see for how long people stayed in one room. You can see how many left during a talk and where they went to.

Type of locations a solution like this can be suited to

1. Conference spaces
2. Festivals and conferences
3. Network meetings
4. Business fairs
5. Musea and exposition spaces
6. .. (anything I forgot or am not aware of)

At the NPOX festival, November 16

With RoomWare at NPOX we like to:

1. Help people find other people based on names or preferences (skills, job titles, who knows who)
2. Present showcases of people on big screens (photo’s, video productions, audio productions, writings, portfolio’s)
3. Connect people using RFID tags
4. Show connections between people (who knows who?)
5. Track who was together in the same space and open this info to the people who were part of that group and specific moment

Protection of pivacy

As with these kind of technologies we need to keep privacy high. We will present the “how” in a later post.

Let the horses run freely

[First draft] Starting with the article I wrote “for my sister”, a new fire seems to have ignited inside me.

At Reboot11, joining the discussion after the talks in the workshop “future building for WikiCrats” (organized by Nadia El Imam) and discussions after other things are merging as well and the past days I seem to be talking about nothing else.

One returning thing is the body/mind connection. Apparently Plato is to thank for the idea that the sexual, animal and sensual part of our human state is best to be repressed. See this short reference. Another returning thing is the idea that we are economical, rational beings. See this reference to get more info about that. A third one is based on the theory that people need governance not to fall into a state of chaos, rape and murder, “a war against all” as Hobbes believed.

With these ideas as a basis you can build a society where i.e.:

1. It is preferable to learn how to repress any bodily sensation and focus on the development of your rational thinking
2. People perceive themselves and their decisions as rational and where emotions are considered to be a nuisance you rather avoid. Especially the “lower” or “negative” ones.
3. Sex could be considered as a functional activity only: to procreate in order to prevent our human species from extinction
4. The government is essential to watch over us all and tell us what choices, rules and behaviors are best to live by

As an effect:

1. Play might be considered as a lower rate activity. It is neither economical, nor rational and therefore useless for your adult life and merely useful for recreational purposes.
2. To feel emotions and understand and explore your own body and sensory/bodily experiences might be considered to be a lower rate activity and maybe even something to stay away from, as the body and our emotions is part of our animal nature and not rational.
3. To explore play and the exploration of bodily experiences and expression of sensuality might be considered childish, irresponsible, strange, maybe even harmful (seductive, disobediant, disruptive) to them/ourselves and others and something that should be corrected.
4. The government might be allowed to lay any rule upon us as they deem just. Furthermore this government might even be allowed to interfere with isseus on very low levels, write rules like: “how to sell an orange to a customer” and create subrulings like: “How to sell an orange to a customer which has an income above the local avarage income” and “How to sell an orange to a customer which has been ill the day before.”

Here are eight of the items I shared with others this past week:

1. Emotional confusion regarding sensuality and sexuality: by only having a limited “language” for the different emotions and bodily experiences it is hard to create a clear space to the different variations on love, lust, endearment, feelings of bonding, feelings of warmth. Imagine a space in your mind where you can completely enjoy all the feelings you can experience for someone else, without holding back, and shine. Where it is normal to fall in love with a stranger three times a day, never see that person again in your life and be totally happy with it.
2. Western society and retarded views regarding female-, male- AND homosexuality: women in Western society have for a long time been preferably regarded as “subordinate to male sexuality” which can even lead to the idea that rape is allowed under certain circumstances. Until 1973 homosexuality was officially considered to be a mental disorder (see reference here).  Masturbation has been considered “wrong” and “taboo” until the late 60’s (read more about this and “medical” points of view here) and has sadly been a very obscure thing for woman. (Quoting an article on BBC Home to state the basics: In fact, a great deal of the problem with women’s sexual gratification is their own general ignorance of the anatomy involved. A woman who is totally unacquainted with her own body is relatively unlikely to find someone capable of satisfying her, even to her own apparently inferior standards.)
3. The misconception regarding the differences between men and woman: we used to think women were very emotional, where men were rational, men were practical and woman were not, woman can not handle money where man could, women could not organize or magage things and events where men could, women could never be good scientists/leaders/teachers/programmers where men could (do you start to see a pattern here?) in fact most men are hardly rational in their own decisions, fail to organize and be organized over and over again and can be easily surpassed in leadership by woman. When you start to look further, you will find more and more that most if not all of the “differences” which are related to emotion, cognition and mental abilities are simply biased bullshit either way around.
4. The position of women in Western society: while pointing fingers at Muslim societies, it is only since the 1980′ that Western society started to drop their own sexist preconceptions and a male dominated society started to view women as possible equals in some professional fields. Still, even by “modern” men, women still are viewed as less than equals due to the remnants of our social- and cultural programming.
5. Humans as social, empathic, pain-avoiding and problem solving animals versus Hobbes and co.: I believe our social wiring, our ability to mimic and simulate the emotions of others (empathy) and our strive for an easier and more pleasant and pleasing life are the returning elements in any developed society and civilization. Pain here is wider than the physical “ow!” pain. It also includes boredom, trouble, problems, abuse and the feeling of lonelyness, lack and loss.
6. Schooling is killing creativity in children: Our current way of  public education – in my opinion – uses the factory model of production, production units and quality measurement. Each year a specific target needs to be reached. This target consists of an X amount of children being able to reproduce specific knowledge according to one specific model and standard. It is linear and limited in what it offers. In this system, your conformity and your skills to reproduce are rewarded highest. Creativity and alternate thinking are mostly considered disruptive.
7. The world as fluid and constantly changing: We tend to assume that the world and things happening in this world are quite linear and therefore predictable, where it is not. Our reality is so complex, with so many factors, forces, fields and elements interacting, that any attempt to find, create or enforce an all enveloping order is doomed to fail. You can not freeze a moment and make it everlasting. Plans you made yesterday already might need change today. As a result we are constantly improvising.
8. Schooling based on improvisation, play, discovery, negotiation and coached self-education as a basis: We remember best what is most relevant to us. We solve problems by searching for solutions. When you look at children and adults still in the process of play, in most cases they start investigating the things they are interested in automatically. When they have been tought to think from open spaces and possibities they will use improvisation to solve the problems they encounter.

Tame your horses

We were tought to “tame the horses”. Be strong. Manage your emotions. Don’t cry. Do not ask questions. Obey the rules. But against what price? And do our “horses” need to be “tamed” or is “taming the horses” a flawed model based on the wrong preconceptions?

Set your horses free

I believe horses should be free. They will not rape each other, nor take each others rights to claim their place in an endless and abundant world, nor die because I am not there to feed them. I think the horses will find their own ways and start to shine and be happy and will be running around and create new beauty just by what they are.

To believe in old systems that do put not trust in human nature is strange. I rather take the ones that believe in the good qualities we have.

Utopia does not exist, but we can certainly do much better regarding our own development as an emotinal and intelligent, social and empathic animal then we do now.

Additional to item 5:
In general we try to create solutions to solve the problems we encounter and gain a new level of stability. Our empathy allows us to feel for other people and feel sorry for other people so that their problems become part of something we want to solve ourselves. Our social component makes that we enjoy being with other people and preferrably people we like (avoidance of “pain” again) and also why many societies and groups within societies are starting as self-organizing before becoming organized and governed and why governments have no need at all to be “big brother” or our “big mom and big dad”. (We sometimes tend to forget that people in the government are just as stupid and dumb and short sighted and human as we and our neighbors are).

Additional to item 8:
Most scientists from the current and old days in my view simply continued and continue their play, their daydreaming and their skills for improvisations in combination with – in many cases self-tought – systematic and methodic approaches to solve problems and manifest their fantasies (objects, machines, computer programs, movies, books, calculations, formula’s and so on) into this world. Where I think play and curiousity is our natural way to learn, via request based coaching we can hand the kids tools to focus this natural play into more systematic ways where suddenly the scale of things are increased. The further development of natural negotiation can help kids reaching goals they alone woult never reach. And even the “soft” kids interested suddenly can learn mathematics and physics when you connect it to something relevant like that “the seeds of a sunflower are organized according to the Fibunacci range” and that by knowing that “human limbs are restricted to specific physicallimitations” you can optimize these movements and even invent new ways of moving.
