Geometry Records — Volume VII — The Center That Moves

Opening Statement

A center is assumed to be fixed. In practice, it drifts. Attention shifts. Hands adjust. Systems breathe.

I. False Stability

Absolute centers exist only in theory. In use, centers migrate.

This movement does not negate structure; it animates it.

II. Attention as Gravity

What the artist attends to becomes central. Focus pulls form toward it.

The drawing reveals where attention actually resided, not where it was intended.

III. Orbiting Uncertainty

When the center moves, the system adapts. Circles widen, compress, or distort.

Order persists through adjustment.

IV. Acceptance of Motion

To deny movement is to fracture continuity. Stability emerges from allowance, not force.

Process Note

Centers are re-established only when drift becomes legible.

Closing Note

A living system does not hold still.
