I'd forgotten that! Not that I'm an expert on flagpoles or pulleys but it seems when a symbol encounters turbulence.....when facilitating a symbol encounters difficulty.... when the workability of a symbol is interrupted......yes, like a portent....might have given pause to a Roman general but Boy King would blow past it like THERE ARE NO SIGNIFIERS.....there are no clues....

The unworkability in this moment is not a sign of unworkability....in a future series of moments....

There is something to be said here, I am circling and getting close, .....not sure I have it.
