Laugh with Joy: Open Mouths, Baggy Sleeves and Cornucopias

Laugh with joy. Image A's reptile is a flux tube, it gradually gets bigger. Image B uses an open mouth for where the end of the flux tube is spilling out it's contents, because the tube cannot expand any further. (It inflated to its limit and stretched it's pleated barrier to maximum.)

A reptile in a pictogram is a flux tube that gradually grows, and an open mouth is where the tube spills its contents after inflating to its limit. Arms emerging from that mouth are new small flux tubes, and a head is spilled flux curling into a vortex that returns to higher density. Baggy sleeves and cornucopias mark the open end of a tube spilling flux that forms tori, curling leaf surfaces, and the mixed shapes of the aether.

Image C and D have arms and a head coming out of that kind of open mouth. I think the arms are new small flux tubes that have formed, and I think the head represents where other spilled flux curls up and forms it's own vortex to return to higher density, thus the head acts as a portal. Sleeves that are baggy like image E and G also seem to represent the open end of a flux tube and the arm is probably a new smaller flux tube coming out.

Image F's cornucopia is spilling "flux stuff" from the open end of a flux tube. Some of that stuff forms into rounded-fruit of various sizes, ie, tori of various sizes, and some for 2D surfaces that start to curl, hence the leaves. I also like what is scattered on the ground, more shapes. If you ask what is "aether" made of, I think it's a mix of shapes, like tube remants, various size tori, partially made surfaces, etc. It's not just one kind of thing, that aether, it's like trail mix snack

I also like to look for spirals where flux spills out, like on image I, because that "snail shell" spiral, I think it's capable of self-propagation. That's my theory of photons shape. Image H is by surreal artist Rémy Van den Abeele (1918-2006), "The Road to Baghdad". So as usual, things we realize together now about flux tubes, other people already knew. The "string of pearls" is a great symbol for high-density flux structure.

Anyway, I silently laughed at how image C and D seem so obvious, seeing them together with baggy sleeves and cornucopias. But if you haven't been seeing my stream of posts on my timeline, this post will seem batshitcrayzee. Anytime is a good time to click my name and see what you've missed.
