Parrallel and Perpendicular sometimes 45 and other.

Do you walk,,, while 'aligning' your path to your surrounds.

Ie if there is a wall ,, even if it's accros the street do you try to approach the limit of walking parralell to it.

When the parrallel reference stops, do you try to find a new reference, while continueing to your destination (if you've grown up you'l have a destination, otherwise as a child you would have just followed till you got bored)

Do you move around walls while 'trying' to thwart your body in 'set angles' to another reference which brings you paralell to it...

eg, going down a corriford it does a sudden 90 degree turn... do you knwo

A. cut the corner lookng for the shortest path like formula one car
B. try to follow, the wall, and jut your body around the perpendicular trasition.
C. Do a two stop process, line up to the ZERO ,incidence reflection piont - ie the corner, which creates a 45 degree angle with the adjuncted walls.
D. all of the above and like to switch, or have ,now slowly relaxed and just do the formula one thing
E. Now I don't do it at all.


-I even did things on the other plane aswell ,, sometimes I even rotated the plane arbitrarily to suit the objects that were making up my environment.
eg. Staircase.

For a curved grande stir case (the ones with the landing that branches off allot of the time)

Do you follow the arc that is the solution to the shortest path for traversing from the bottom to the top. (you may have had to have had a little interest in maths for this one) ->ellipse and the conic solution., or if the staircases function isn't a simple geometric object do you 'guess'.

PS

I love going to hospitals,, wher they build the walls a bit all over the place, and put lines everywhere --- they stopped putting the lines down lately!

--I could never make a decision, which, line ,wall to follow - what irritated me when you could tell the line, was crepping out of sync with the wall!

totally. I sit in restaurants and line up edges of things with other things, or the edge of my fork with a scratch in the table..

I do them all!

Yep my cutlery has to be parallel,, sometimes I have to move over to be inline with the cutlery , just to make sure my line of sight is not playing with my precision.

--Makes us guys really good in the Lab!


..How about features in nature,,, where the sporadity is incalculable ... do you try to find something to 'calculate'

eg. driving down a dirt track , you make your wheels follow perpendicular to to the track,,, but sometimes you miss calculate, or there can be a section in the road where it's no longer perpendicular (I usual steer into it and try to follow the path of least resitance) --my passenger(s) are usually noted to say,, what are you doing, where are you going - I just remark,,, I;m following the road -usually angrliy -like as if they concentrate on driving.

Then ther's the trees, the fallen branches, the amount of stemming branches, the angles those stemms make ,etc etc. then a bridg approaches, and I'm in the ravine!

Another thing: do you find it pertinent to line up the table if it isn't fixed.... that is, do you actually move the table and make sure it's at the right angle, and sometimes equidistant (if there are several references which doesn't make you move the table across the entire room...ie a wall 1 yard to your left nad another 1.000 yard to the back actually has to have that many significant digits of accuracy in order for you to feel like your surroundigs are "SET")

Yes, I tend to like to walk level with walls and buildings and turn corners smoothly, lol. It is an odd trait. I also like things to be straight. I was straightening all the cameras in our local Asda(superstore) last night, and on my desk, my books have to be level, and all the things against the back wall have to be pushed so that their labels are dead centre and facing me. On my bed, the pattern on my cover has to be so that the lines are straight across and not uneven. I never really gave it much consideration before.

The times that I have noticed myself doing this was on the subway... they have a yellow line to mark off where the 'designated waiting area' is... and I noticed that I'd walk exactly parallel to that line.

Most times though- I don't notice unless someone points it out or someone/something is in my way and I have to deviate from where I want to walk.

i kinda do the walking thing it's like a game

i also try my hardest to walk smoothly or walk like im on a tightrope

when i saw the movie "the awakening" with william robins and robert deniro... i had it figured out so far in advanced that the people wouldn't move forward any further because there was no pattern on the floor for them to follow.
