A sequence of notes on uncertainty, rigour, provisional structures, and physical assent.

  1. Control and the Uncontrollable: the initial sense that action may not be demanded by anything.
  2. Rigour as Paralysis: an attempt to describe how the avoidance of error can become action without assent.
  3. Firmness Without Finality: a possible response: inhabiting a provisional structure firmly.
  4. Ground and Gravity: separating what can be known exactly from what can only be played as though settled.
  5. Weight and Assent: the limit case, where assent is complete because nothing is left to interpret.
  6. What I Hope to Be Able to Say: a reflection on revisability, retrospective assent, and the hope of one day accepting a life as a whole.
