Deregulating the sences...
While at work - which entailed standing and staring into space for six hours - I conceived the linkages nescessary for the bump sensors.
Using a ratchet, a pawl and an escapement, I can amplify a gentle push into a axle rotation with considerable torque.
I'm pleased that this rotation trigger eliminates the need for the touch sensors to work according to a clockbeat - even if it depends upon a movement beat. I don't mind a movement beat; if anything it adds aesthetic pleasure.
The real world does not work according to a precise clock, so sences that depend on any form of shuttering should suffer from 'event artifacts' or 'moment artefacts' to coin phrases.
It is probable that our perception of movement when presented with 30 still frames per second is a form of 'event artefact' ariseing from the interplay of our pulsatile neural system and the continuous world.
