Situations This is a static situation. Or: this situation is static. I trim my beard with a trimmer. I don’t shave it with this trimmer although I could. Having finished I wind the cable on the trimmer, coil after coil, carefully and neatly. Then I put the trimmer into the drawer in the small cabinet under the washbasin. One or two months pass. It depends. On the beard. If it grows faster or slower. If I decide it is too long and needs trimming. I open the drawer. The trimmer lies on its bottom and the tangled cable beside. The situation is no longer static. Now it is dynamic, yet it is the same situation. I take out the trimmer. Untangle the cable. Plug it into the socket. I trim my beard. Then I clean the trimmer. Wind the cable on the trimmer and put back into the drawer. I close the drawer. And now the question is: what’s going on in the drawer? I am not the only one who opens the drawer. And I don’t open it only when comes the time for trimming and I have to take out the trimmer. There are other objects in the drawer. For example hair brushes. Not many objects are there, too few to tangle and swarm. All of them are on the bottom, one by another which is not enough to save them against perpetual moving. Pushing and pulling the drawer cause jerks and shakes triggering the power of inertia which thereafter makes the cable slip off the trimmer for the coils are not so tight and the plug is not fixed to the body of the device. Is this explanation satisfying? Should a hidden camera be installed? We don’t know what is going on when the drawer is closed, and it is closed for most of the time. We know there is a node and tubes nearby. At least a dozen times a day water runs through them, it gurgles, whispers, swooshes, chokes, splashes, encounters various turbulences, generates vibrations... This is a dynamic situation. Or: this situation is dynamic. A cable lies on the floor. Under a small, narrow desk. The desk stands by the door to the adjacent room almost touching the wall. The door opens and somebody who lives here crosses the threshold. Of course he doesn’t look down, there is no need. He doesn’t suppose the cable has moved insidiously from under the desk and made a loop right in front of the threshold. He puts the leg into the loop. Stumbles and falls. Luckily not as a log, only on his knees and elbows. He’s furious. Swears like a sailor though he is not a sailor. If he fell like a log he would hit his head on the bed edge, and could be killed outright, so tragically, in his own bedroom. What would this be: a tragic accident or a premeditated murder? And now the situation that is a bit less dynamic. What was going on before? Why did the cable slide out from under the desk? Did anybody push it unintentionally sitting at the desk and moving the leg unconsciously? Did this happen when tidying the room up? Could this be done by the robotic vacuum cleaner? How could it do this? It has no hands, the whirling brushes seem too weak, though not much strength is needed, the cable is thin, loose, not jammed, one needs not to lift the desk up to pull it out... And something else. Let’s look carefully at the loop: what precise shape it has and how precisely it is placed – there is nothing casual and accidental in it, just the result of good planning and detailed counting; and when we can see this, let’s think of an electric field generated by this loop, let’s try to count the force it could attract the foot that has just appeared above it... Then let’s ask the following, the most important, question: WHY? Revenge or fun? Make a choice. Making a choice is big fun. This is a dynamic-static situation. Or: this situation is static-dynamic. A digital piano on the Z-type, not X-type, stand that’s why quite big monitor is under it making the sound of the instrument deeper and louder. The monitor is connected with the instrument by a jack-jack cable, not directly because there is a wah-wah pedal on the way. So, we have two cables. There is another pedal connected with the piano, a standard sustain pedal; it has its own cable. So, we have three cables, now. Both the monitor and the instrument have power cords plugged to the surge protective device which, of course, has its own cable, but we won’t count it, like we will not count the hanging cable of the small lamp also plugged to the device. Thus we have five cables. They are on the floor, put in order to avoid tangling, and yet they tangle. It enough to play for a while. Do they dance and tangle? Now let’s think of the Large Hadron Collider. It is unimaginable though precisely designed and made, a giant swarm of cables in perfect order, excellently wound and coiled, on reels and rods and cores, packed tightly in special tubes and ducts, and summa summarum tangled as hell-and-heaven. What kind of situation is it? <<<
