you just got SCIENCED

My assessment, for anyone who is interested, is that billy is someone who somehow developed a pathological addiction to shifting other people's assemblage points all the time and lost the ability to shift his own in any other way.

I personally think there is a great deal of intersubjective phenomena that, in my opinion, has not been adequately explored by this "new seers" and so on tradition.  There appears to be a natural principle of assemblages combining.  Not just coincidentally assembling the same filaments, actually *combining* into one, not two, assemblage points.  Generally, they separate again.  In the case of human or animal sacrifice, I would hypothesize they combine and DON'T separate again, but even I'm not Mad Scientist enough to go kill some people and see what happens.

I suspect billy's particular Kaomea madness is a result of learning how to merge assemblage points, learning how to shift with merged assemblage points, but then losing the ability to shift once they've separated again.  You can see that he's not even trying to shift himself, he's trying to reunite with the beloved, to have her come to visit him, like that would make everything right.  I believe this phenomenon in a lesser form is extremely common after the break up of relationships, loss of loved ones, and may even be the real definition of a "broken heart".

The reason I put so much thought into it, by the way, is so that I could be better than this.

At first I thought it was some kind of elaborate joke and you were all just messing with me.  He's so CARTOONISH I literally did not believe it.  I just had too much faith in the basic goodness and sanity of human nature to believe it was even possible.

Don't let anyone with DEGREES and things fool you, by the way. Science is just watching the same thing until it does something interesting and then telling other people about the thing it did.

Actually, I'm not sure if they COMBINE and SEPARATE for real or only apparently, but they somehow combine into ONE MOVEMENT. The movement is always one thing no matter how many "individuals" are involved. I will call this phenomenon a "co-movement" or "co-shifting" of the assemblage point.

[Le_Regard]

So I can't believe it took me this long to figure this out, but I just now noticed that when we say a person is "attractive", this is pretty much literally describing a shift of the assemblage point.
