Autoluna 1:1 Secondary Text 1

By Lucian Green and Andrea Lou
Act 1: Scene 1 of Autoluna is about the theme of stability.
There was a chamber musician who tested the stability of objects. The method is to examine the facial expression of one of her students by testing whether he was smiling equally on both sides of the face. To do this she first measured the horizontal distance from the centre of the student’s lips to the point below the end of his lips as he smiled, and then she measured the vertical distance from the point below the end of his lips to the end of his lips. If these two measurements were the same on both sides, this means he was smiling stably. Therefore, he regards himself smiling as a sign indicating that he was professional, and thus honest. In this way, if there were a set of scales with weights at the heights of each side of the mouth, we can say that it is be stable if the man was smiling equally on both sides of his face.
Another chamber musician worked out the density of a set of thoughts from the way they made sense together. This is done by calculating the number of thoughts at a point in time. At the same time, the number of branches from the main thought should also be counted before finishing the calculation. In addition, two of the thoughts connected to the main thought are supposed to have a rhizomatic (branch-like) connection or connection between them that shows the argument structure. Only after these are made clear can she calculated the number of thoughts at a point in time as mentioned above. As a result, if the outcome of calculation was the same as the number of thoughts required, the system could be considered stable. In this way, the density of a set of thoughts has been calculated to equal the number of thoughts at a point in time.
A chamber violinist argued that a function should be catered for, because he thought enough food should be ordered for the delegates. Furthermore, the food should be stably distributed on the plate and the table and chairs should be stable during the meal. Then, he said that if the amount of the food ordered was equal to that needed, the system could be stable. In this way, he held that a function should be catered for because enough food should be ordered for the delegates.
Besides, on the topic of stability a chamber musician said that a table should be properly built by calculating that the table was stable. The method was like this: testing that there was a cube made up of the four legs underneath the table, measuring down the length of each edge of the cube, and then testing that each edge had the same length. He pointed out that the reason why the table was stable was that its four legs were sturdy. In this way, he noted that because a table was stable it should be properly built.
Finally, in attaining stability, a chamber flutist was building the floor of a house by fitting the floorboards to the floor. This process entails solving the puzzle that how the floorboards should cover the floor, and his solution was to make sure that the total length of each row of floorboards equals the length of that part of the floor. Consequently, when, this very standard is met (and it was necessary to be met), then the system could be seen as stable. In this way, he managed to stably build the floor of a house by fitting the floorboards to the floor.
