for Michael Toste

Notes from reading Piaget "the Child's conception of Physical Causality" the Chapter on Water:

I re-read with Mike's project in mind asking myself what in here is usable .....these ideas are present in the fountain he filmed but it is organized , more complete with possible metaphoric associations.....they could be used ......yes they are kind of obvious but they are just a beginning for associative thinking...


types of states and movement of water:

waves they occur at the EDGE of lakes ......caused by stones, paddles or winds

currents (of rivers) .as LINE ... one does not see the where they begin (source) and
where they go (end)...they are hidden...it is directional.....
from a child " it goes away...how come there is always some left"
the mystery of finite being..........
"the water runs because of the slope".....the idea of weight and
gravity
falling water
