solicitation

is the surrendering to the material at hand, much like the carpenter who surrenders to the wood, allowing himself to be beckoned by the microstructure in the grain of the wood.

(2) carpentry and metalurgy bringing a metal to its point of melting blacksmith have known these patterns for milllenia they work interacting . . . it is a question of surrendering to the wood-you sand with the grain this is not a convention-there is something in the microstrucure in the grain that is asking you to enter into a kind of partnership to be the combination of the two. . . . there's nothing illegal about sanding against the grain, but it's difficult. -it's an analogue product-(from Delanda 'nature space science' talk)
