from "Limited Fork Theory," a webpage, by Forker Gyrle

I took this from the Limited Fork Theory website because it is, simply, one of the best riffs on reconfiguration, virtual and otherwise, I have ever encountered. I've just begun my investigation into the myriad possibilities opened by Forker Gryle, I'll report back when I've learned more—but by then, she'll be somewhere else, I bet.


LIMITED FORK THEORY is also A Theory of Everything

that not only includes, but also appreciates: imagination,
the fruitfulness of dead ends, the possibilities of error,
the usefulness of failure, the beauty of the many configurations
of the box the limited fork comes out of and goes into, forking,
reconfiguring, shaping, foldimg, unfolding, and bifurcating all the way.

                           Many paths to many worlds: one limited fork.

Limited Fork Theory offers meaningful and enjoyable ways to connect anything, everything. Works best with growth and transformative situations. Experiments with connection across scale and boundary.  This site is one of the homes of
a thinking system tool born in a movie theater, a simple and limited tool that can enhance perception, and can enable forms of making less likely to occur without enhanced perception that focsues on what happens in any interactions and connections. The creativity of investigation emerges with a limited fork; new forms can emerge as outcomes of partnerships between investigation, documentation, and a need for ways to express findings that may not conform well to existing forms that themselves are subject to adaptation in interactions (collaborations) with investigation.   Warning: not afraid of paradigm shifts, first in poetry, then in much more generalized acts of thinking, configuring, playing, responding, making, creating, perceiving, framing, etc.

                         Go ahead; play with the fork and fork away!

This approach to anything on any scale in any location came into being under very simple non-scholarly circumstances, but affects everything, and constructs powerful flexible learning spaces and experiences.   Great for integrative learning and living in the fork's interest in putting things together in all the ways things can be put together (temporarily). it's useful and good to fork things up! Limited Fork is food for thought and a way to serve it. Alternative and warped fractal mapping of infinite path systems that connect anything, everything. From these connections come poams: products of acts of making (any acts of making by any makers) --all of them creative and possible. Limited Fork is what happened when forkergirl realized that poetry IS a dynamic, complex system with its own rules and principles, instead of looking for a way to apply tenets of complex systems
in theoretical science to what those tenets exclude. Those tenets and everything else are amazingly imperfect (limited) tines of the limited fork.
