And they eye wants to look at an orderly set of marks on a page.
The eye wants pattern, the eye wants order, the eye wants relative perfection.
And they eye wants to look at an orderly set of marks on a page.
The eye wants pattern, the eye wants order, the eye wants relative perfection.
The eye wants something that
is reliable that it can count on.
The eye is a very conservative part of
reading.

On the other hand, you have The Hand.
The hand is the
radical aspect of writing.
The hand wants to write faster and faster.
Writing changes because we're writing faster and faster all the time.
