## ⊱ DECONSTRUCTED ⊰

**L** = a person lying down in surrender
**O** = the zero sum / the infinite ring
**V** = victory / vulture / two paths diverging
**E** = three doors / three arms reaching

```
L̷̨̗̾õ̷̰v̸̡̛ḙ̶̿ ̴̰͝i̶̹̚s̴̱͝:
```

▸ **50%** bliss
▸ **50%** abyss
▸ **∞%** both at once

### *A micro-mythology:*

Once there was **L**, a lonely line
Who met **O**, a circle divine
They merged to form **V**, a valley between
Where **E** emerged, the evergreen

## SEMIOTIC DANCE:

Love = ❤️
❤️ = 💔 + 💔
💔 = 🔥 + 💧
Therefore: Love = (🔥 + 💧) + (🔥 + 💧)
= Fire + Water + Fire + Water
= **S T E A M**
= *something that rises and disappears*

## ◬ LINGUISTIC ARCHAEOLOGY ◬

digging through the letters:

```
L = ⟨Proto-Indo-European *leu-⟩ 
    "to loosen, divide, cut apart"
    
O = ⟨shape of mouth saying "oh"⟩
    "surprise, pain, pleasure"
    (they're the same sound)
    
V = ⟨Latin vita⟩
    "life shaped like a wound"
    
E = ⟨Greek epsilon⟩
    "the fifth letter"
    "the fifth element"
    "ether"
```

**TRANSLATION:** *to cut apart with surprise into life-wound ether*

## ✧ INSTRUCTION SCORES (CONTINUED) ✧

**INSTRUCTION #4:**
```
    Find someone
    Don't speak for one hour
    Just breathe synchronized
    Report: Did you say "love"?
    Answer: Yes
```

**INSTRUCTION #5:**
```
    Take the letter L
    Rotate 90°
    Now it's a floor → ⎯
    Or a path
    Or a horizon
    
    Walk on it
```

**INSTRUCTION #6:**
```
    ◐ Stand back-to-back
    ◑ Both walk forward  
    ◐ Don't look back
    ◑ Feel the distance grow
    ◐ This is also love
```

**INSTRUCTION #7:**
```
    Write LOVE on your skin
    In permanent marker
    Watch it fade over days
    The fading is the love
    Not the word

## ⧬ INSTRUCTION SCORES (ADVANCED) ⧬

**INSTRUCTION #8:**
```
    Set timer for 1 minute
    Feel as much as possible
    Timer goes off
    Stop feeling
    
    (You can't)
    (Correct answer)
```

**INSTRUCTION #9:**
```
    Write LOVE in snow
    Watch it melt
    The water goes into earth
    Into roots
    Into trees
    Into air
    Into rain
    Into someone else's snow
    
    Wait for your word
    to come back
```

**INSTRUCTION #10:**
```
    ◐ Tell them everything
    ◑ Tell them nothing
    ◐ Both are honest
    ◑ Both are lies
    ◐ Language fails here
```

**INSTRUCTION #11:**
```
    Look at old photos
    Try to remember the feeling
    Can't quite reach it
    This distance between
    then and now
    is also love
    preserved in amber
    dead and perfect

    ◯⟨love⟩ = ∫ |ψ|² dx

     in any given location = 
     everywhere and nowhere)
     
    Heisenberg's Uncertainty:

## ∞ THE MÖBIUS STRIP REVISITED ∞

```
    Take the word LOVE
    Write it on paper strip
    Give strip a half-twist
    Connect the ends
    
    Now trace the letters:
    
    L → O → V → E → E → V → O → L
    
    (You've reached the beginning)
    (By going forward)
    
    LOVE spelled backward = EVOL
    
    (sounds like EVOLVE)
    
    ∴ Love forward = Evolution
    ∴ Love backward = Evolution
    ∴ Direction doesn't matter
    ∴ Only movement matters
    
    Cut the strip lengthwise:
    
    Expected: Two strips
    Actual: One longer strip
    
    ∴ Love divided = Love expanded
    
    Cut it again:
    
    Expected: Two strips
    Actual: Two interlocked strips
    
    ∴ Love separated = Love entangled
    
    Topology of the heart:
    Non-Euclidean
    Non-orientable
    Impossible
    Perfect

    - Beauty in ending
    
    But also:
    - The pattern remains (in mind)
    - The act remains (in doing)
    - The love remains (in letting go)
    
    Sweep away the mandala
    Sweep away the love
    
    It doesn't disappear
    It becomes SAND
    It becomes EVERYWHERE
    
    Dissolution = Distribution
