taking positions

the birthing of MM is proving an event so far..with everyone bristling with brio, rabbiting on, tome thumping and generally jostling for position ....so far the dynamics do not disappoint only the number of contenders...i'm having conversations regarding MM with people which seem to demonstrate something about the 'Laws of Hostility' (Pierre Saint-Amand) being theoretically proposed as key but which appear to be unfolding in any case as people react /or not.

If we are not attempting to achieve consensus (ironically agreed) and as the plan is to have no plan but rather mutate within a field of difference then the constitution of that field (participants) will be determined not only by the laws of hostility, predicated and arguably implied by the terms of reciprocity, but also by natural (de)selection....that said it is still early days and the ways and means of participation are not yet fully established....

The next face to face meeting (friday 18th Jan) may prove to be an interesting one.

Preparatory work for the 18th. Tumble dry polyester slip with damp cotton vest. Allow to overdry. Attempt to carefully remove garments. Be overtly tactile at meeting. Observe.
