Posted:theres been alot of talk of inventing moves on this froum recently.
but can you really invent poi moves or are they there from the start waiting to be discovered?

They shouldn't do that no no no
Posted:And as I said, by that definition you can never invent anything, because everything you could come up with is already in the "probability matrix" of the laws of physics.

Posted:no.. putting sutff together as in making a hammer from stone and wood is not part of the laws of physics the tool itself is an object.. how it was created is part of physics and chemistry and what not..but the tool the invention is not.. poi however the mvoe is a line it is physics the whole time..only the poi itself is a freestanding artifact that was 'invented'

Posted:"Ownership" of poi moves is null concept, because it's all out there in the open for all to see. Monkey see, monkey do. Depending upon who's standing around at the time I reckon it takes bewteen 2 minutes and a couple of weeks for from me doing a variation to somebody else doing it and taking it further. And I love it!

It's all just moving things in certain ways though!

Posted:I understand that mate.. completely.. but I can't tell you how many people I run into on and off the boards that take offense to stuff.. little nuances that they feel they invented because they were the first to talk about it.. video it.. whatever..
I'm not saying everyone uses invent like that.. but ALL the people with egos do..
That's why I say its a loaded word.. I can't tell you how many people whince when they here the word in a poi conversation.. its one of those things that has just gotten a bad rep.. (even though my personal opinion is it doesnt really fit anyway..going back to math and scinecne 'discoveries' and objects as inventions..)
spiral- moves are not objects.. but rahtewr conepts.. a line between two points on a graph.. hence they dont' exist

And all this "everything exists until it's discovered" stuff is, in my opinion, rubbish.
it exists after its discovered to
and austrailia existed before it was discoverd by europeans.
Written by: Dm
btw Maths is a language of universal interaction and so can be invented.
whose to say that it hasnt been there all along? it could be just a kind of inevitability, and however it had happened, the same system would occour. meaning that its probably already there. im not sure about that though, i could be persuaded either way on this argument given my mood/time/place.

Posted:actually on the math thing..amth was a set of language deverloped to addequatelydescribe nature.. math as a structure and the classificatiosn of structure and terms were invented.. those are the tools.. the hammer and chicsel or bpaint and brush.. that I have no doubt was invented.. BUT the fomulations.. that actual nature.. the actual mvoement of the poi spun the stroke of the brush.. that is all nature itself.. those are not created but noticed.. math and science.. or rather the things that math ans science symbolize (think word cat (math) versus cat itself (nature)) are there.. being noticed.. we may bea ble to use our understanding to further theorize but theoyry is nothing without practice.. and in practice you see the theory in nature and thus discover it.. uncover it.. it back up your theory but your theory wasnt invented.. your theory wasn't necessarily creative more then inspired but twhat you had already discovered.. you know
edit: because I hit the wrong keyboard button
invention if it has a place beyond the tools itself lies in the creative output..which is not the move.. but the hwole dance.. which includes every step taken during the number etc.. its the painting left behind after the strokes are put together.. in otherwords its the totality of the dance.. which can be argued through somethinglike a sorities series to be but amove itself.. but I think the creativity come sin how its used.. which is not the move but how the move is used.. up one level.. style expression etc..
blast edit again: the strokes don't make the painting.. the whole picture makes the painting.. the moves don't make the dance but the totality of the picutre makes the dance..

Posted:Rev: when words are used by authors, they are used loaded with the meaning the author has. When they are read, they are read loaded with the meaning the reader has. People assume that words only mean one thing, the thing they think it means, and forget that other people might not have the same meaning.
So maybe all the people with egos use invent, but it's all the people with egos that respond with 'you didn't invent it, x did years ago'.
Oh, yeah, if it's art, you can copyright it. But anyone is free to create derivative works from it, such as spinning it with different poi, or slower, or whatever.
Poi moves come with an unstated version of the GPL that was attached to the first poi move- you can do what you want with it, modify it, include it in your own routines, but any derivatives are covered by the GPL, and so can be freely modified, copied, etc.
Invented vs. discovered, free will vs. predestination, infinite virtual multiple universes with tiny differences and us in one vs. one universe and this is it, all pointless arguements about whether a coin came up heads or heads.

Oli, either you uderstand me and are helping me prove a point or you don't and you still are
In the sentence you quoted I was also objecting to the word "discovered" for precisely the reason that Australia gets discovered and not invented, but ideas, concepts, languages get dreamt up and invented, or discovered, found, unlost, whatever - depending upon an individual's interpretation of the word.

Not sure I understand, but where do concepts and languages exist before they're thought up or spoken? My argument is that they don't.

Posted:but my argument isn't over the semantic of the dilneation of the move.. you people refer to the art side of it.. which I'm sure your quite fond of.. which is creational.. but its alsoa matter of aesthtics.. which is quite subjective..
but the poi moves.. the bases for your dance.. are not indivdually a matter of aesthetics.. and are not a matter of art.. how you stroke with the brush is not art.. but reather the after result.. the poi motion itself is the brush stroke.. its not a matter of free will or dertermination whatever seems to have brought that up.. its a matter of the concept that I use when I think butterfly.. is not the same as when I use butterfly in dance.. though the butterfly in concept is the root..
see the problem with this is that mathmatics describes nature and math was invented.. and people then use basic mathematical principals to derive complex principles.. but none of these are invented.. like when I think btuterfly andIthink weave.. and then I butterfly weave.. that is not a matter of inventing.. that is a mtter of deriving.. these concepts when applied together for this new integrated formula.. so though you thought out the math (ie. figured out how to put the two together) you nevertheless have not invented anything that was not there before..
there is creationism in art not in mechanics.. moves teach you mechanics.. dance is the art.. I really don't understand where there is a matter of nondifference.. the author writing a word does not invent the word.. nor does he invent connotation of the word.. but the book.. the story is more then just the words or structure (language) that is used to express it.. poi is more then dance.. it is mroe then art.. soyou cannot solely put all of the art side as to account for the whoel.. that's absurd..
there are seperattions..
edit: how about we come toamiddle ground the move is invented (hence the terming etc.. other people invent at the same timebut may call it something else..) but the concept is discovered.. and the fundemental differeacne being that sometimes people learn the invented move but not the concept discovered directly (since my argument was in the indirect mehcnical discovery prior to the invented move prior to the discovered concept in some cases....) does that make people happy?

The observable result is the same, so there isn't any way to distingush between 'was there but you didn't know it' and 'isn't there and i/we/they made it'. which is why everyone ends up argueing semantics.

my argument is that its not important, but i would like to know. and i think at the moment it could be either way, kinda makes more sense for things not to exist before someones thought of it. but whose to say these things dont exist? can you prove something dosnt exist in a universe that you dont know the limits of?
i dont know.
