This is very unusual.


And violent.


I'm reasonably sure that a feather fan can't do that.



Is anyone else in the Wilderness at the moment? I require some assistance.

Really? What explanation did you get?

Perhaps after work I could join you there.

I gathered that the moving images are not real, but are like painted pictures brought to life; and that the machine allows one to control one of these images according to an arbitrary set of rules that replaces the ordinary laws of nature. But I have not found one who could explain how those images can move. The best theory I thought of is that some mechanical artist is erasing then re-drawing them with inhuman speed, but I admit, that sounds faintly ridiculous.

Your presence is always welcome, and your wisdom equally so.

We probably need to begin with the basic theory of atoms and electrons before going to how monitors work. Unless you had gone through that with Miss Sumi. But definitely no high-speed artists are involved.

I've encountered the concept of atoms and particles, but only in passing. My ignorance shames me - there is so much knowledge, and only so many hours in a day.
