Greetings dear Alfred,
You gave me great laugh ;-)\\_//
Already, when Ray used "density", I was smiling. But I resisted commenting
on it for fear of being misunderstood. But you will not misunderstand me
since we have in Afrikaans the idiomatic saying "hy is dig" (he is dense).
I think it came from "hy is dig toe" (he is tightly closed) because we
also have the saying "hy is toe" (he is closed).
This idiom is used when a person can keep a secret. But it is also used
when a person fails to understand something. The context will determine
which is the case -- yet another exmaple how sureness ("identity-context")
operates in a language.
In this latter idiomatic sense mastery is the process of getting rid of
all density -- exactly the opposite of what Ray says!
One thing which I am deeply aware of, is than my five sense organs operate
in an analogue manner and not discreet. Since may brain processes the
continuous signals coming from these sense organs in a cyclic manner, my
brain may be fooled by a discreet coding using intervals shorter than its
cycling period. This is the principal by which a movie or video operates.
BUT .....
Mastery involves the sense organs and the brain!
With care and best wishes,
