Summary

tasis: a stretching, not stasis, standing, though stasis by equilibrium of opposing forces…

Cameron's game, like poetry, suggests that revelations, apocalyptic, individualistic, and otherwise, are best found not in the quest for truth but rather at the interstices of thought and words. As Cameron once said, it is the tendons of society that need attending to, the betwixt and between where new imaginings arise from ideas that collide. As MacKay writes,

I move too much to know where to sit, and I sit too long to know if I should move

Always in motion, the millennial moment slips between words and worlds, stretching across boundaries and definitions as it stands between opposing forces, a tension between the implied and the perceived, where meaning is created in the middle.
