If you could stop every atom in its position and direction, and if your mind could comprehend all the actions thus suspended, then if you were really, really good at algebra you could write the formula for all the future; and although nobody can be so clever as to do it, the formula must exist just as if one could.

My life feels, week to week, incomplete to the level of being pointless if I am not in preparation for the next play or, ideally, into it.
