# 1.     When something is set in motion it can spin indefinitely and accumulate all sorts of stuff on its way.

# 2.     A spoon lying in the side of the road might prove to be a significant event, then again it might not.

# 3.     Something discarded can be found and and considered by others.

# 4.     To say of two things that they are identical is nonsense. To say of one thing that it is identical with itself is to say nothing at all. (Quoting Ludwig Wittgenstein)

# 5.     At times nonsense can make a whole lot of sense.

# 6.     Once considered something will start to act out itself.

# 7.     Thoughts are planets circling the sun, at times they align.

# 8.

# 9.     The artist may refuse any responsibility for the event that (s)he activates.

# 10.   A small movement in the string of events can shift everything completely.

# 11.   Any accumulation is influenced by bias.

# 12.   That which serves no purpose is not purposeless. (Quoting Nikolas Dinér)

# 13.   Presence is more accurate than value 'n' truth.

# 14.   The shift from Non-object to object happens through consideration.

# 15.   Chance denotes change, change denotes chaos, chaos encourages chance.

# 16.   Chance will negotiate any reinvention.

# 17.   That which goes without saying should be left unsaid.

# 18.   Any position is the lack of another position.

# 19.   Contradiction is inevitable and avoids conformity.
