You may have noticed in our last episode how the legs were flailing about aimlessly.
This is what it can feel like, when you have too many eyed-deers and not enough time, energy, or competence to give them all the functioning legs they deserve.
Each eyed-deer is different, and requires its own unique implementation to get its legs up and moving in the right direction.
Take a look here at the field of eyed-deers. Each deer has a different vision in its eye!
You’re telling me I’ve gotta get these legs working for all these different eyed-deers?
But wait…. if we look more closely, maybe we can find some patterns.
Perhaps we can find some hidden shared frequencies
The eyed-deers may look kinda randomly distributed, but realistically if you are somewhat competent and self-aware of your own abilities, your ideas should be clustering around things that you are actually capable of.
Here’s what our field of ideas might look like.
Let’s see if we can find any commonalities in our ideas.
This shape seems to be popping up quite a bit. Four of the eyed-deers are a variation of this glowing line.
Let’s freeze the eyed-deers. Stop trying to put legs on all of them at once.
Just focus on the four of them that have this common feature.
If I can learn how to make this shape, then I am much closer to knocking out four deer at once!
This is the job of THE RHYTHMIST… to find these core patterns, these essential harmonies, and then get the eyed-deers moving together in a shared rhythm.
Once I’ve mastered this one skill of making this one shape, now I’ve got a force multiplier, and I can give legs to many eyed-deers at once, and get them moving in rhythm!
Yes!
Thank you Rhythmist.
STAY TUNED
