TRANSITION 2 (1a)

SMALL / MEDIUM / LARGE and vice versa.
Transition 2 is a visual formula, hidden in connecting image 61 D / section 2.

Pre requisite: Nature, unified music, connecting image 61D (3a) and Tr 2 (intro) rtf.
The enclosed photographs are incomplete and their purpose is to document this Transition.
The small arrows indicate the place where the photographs were taken.

The following aims at explaining that the transition from the smallest to the largest element is not only highly fluid but well camouflaged.
Below: The diagram of connecting image 61 D/section 2.

When we first encounter this natural organization - a small tree surrounded by larger ones - we tend to believe that the contrast small / large is enormous and surprising. This is because the sensorial experience resulting from this transition SMALL / LARGE is instantaneous and could be classified as an almost right angle experience (no preparation). At first, this visual experience appears to be without any preparation, like the majority of those of the present manufactured world. 

On the other hand while analyzing this natural organization several times from various angles, one eventually discovers the medium or linking part, that is to say the transition SMALL / MEDIUM / LARGE.

An alignment of 7 trees, pointing north, 358 degrees. 

After several analysis of the surroundings, one eventually discovers that the transition SMALL / MEDIUM / LARGE is of a complexity and a fluidity which exceeds words. This level of visual communication encourages exploration.

Images: Right / below = 3D model of the KEY TREES. 

This natural space is made of four sections (7 Douglas 80-160 cm in diameter) East/South/West/North, an alignment (7 trees 5-10 cm in diameter), etc For more information, please view  61 D (3a).

7 trees / 5 degrees (North East) / 32 meters (approximate)
7 trees / 358 degrees (North West) / 31.25  meters (approximate)

4 A) There are 7 trees (5-10 cm diameter) which are aligned and pointing north inside the southern part of the almost the circle. They are surrounded by four sections (East = 7 Douglas / South = 7 Douglas / West = 7 Douglas / North = 7 Douglas).
4 B) These 7 trees (5-10 cm diameter) are at 358 degrees (North West) and the Northern section (7 Douglas 80-160 cm in diameter) are at 5 degrees (North East) = ALMOST PARALLEL.
4 C) the distance between the trees 5-10 cm in diameter = 31.25 meters and the Douglas (80-160 cm diameter) = 32.2 m = ALMOST IDENTICAL. 4 D) Straight line / Curve, further to the right.

4 D) the alignment of the trees 5-10 cm in diameter starting from the South: The #1 is almost a straight line tree, #2 is a CURVED tree, #3 and 4 are almost straight line trees. 

7 trees of the Northern section (80-160 cm diameter). Starting from North: The #1 is a curved tree, #2 is an almost STRAIGHT line tree, #3 is a curved tree, #4 is a curved tree = VERY ORGANIZED OPPOSITION. For more information, please view Tr2 (1b-g, 2, 3, and 4).

61D/section 2 (approximate) 10 meters

The tree #7 (north) was a straight line tree in 2009 (bottom image and to the right). After a wet snowstorm in 2010, the weight of the sticky snow curved it (other images).

Most of the non connecting oblique straight lines of the northern section remain intermingled with the vertical parallel lines.
OBLIQUE LINE in this context means broken or fallen branches/trees. They do not connect with the vertical trees (parallel between themselves) accompanied by some curved trees. The latter complement with the vertical ones because of their curve.

Color and textural Transition of the 5-10 cm in diameter trees (gray and some green at the base) with the 80-160 cm in diameter trees (brown and some green at the base). 
SPRING/SUMMER/FALL:
A) Color: The brown/grey of the birch trees / the dead branches / the leaves on the ground, etc facilitates the transition from brown to grey…
B) Texture: The texture of the various surrounding elements starting at the top (leaves/needles of the live trees) down to the ground (fallen leaves/needles) facilitates the transition of the high relief  bark of the large trees to the low relief of the smaller trees… 

WINTER: 
A) Color: The bark of the birch trees facilitates the passage from brown to grey… 
B) Texture: The snow that clings to the various elements of the entourage (leaves/needles/branches of the trees) facilitates the passage from the high relief bark (large trees) to the low relief of the smaller one, etc 

Whether one is conscious or not of the common denominators between the aligned trees of the central part with those of the North (A: Quantity 7, B: A very close parallel alignment, C: Length almost identical, D: An almost perfect opposition), and the connection of  the color/texture of the large trees with the others, the whole area can free the thought process, so that it can work towards solving personal and universal problems.

The length of C and D is almost the same = a reminder of the sides of the horizontal Golden triangle in the exercise, please view 1f.

MEDIUM 		LARGE
  	
61D/section 2 (approximate) 10 meters

The diagrams are APPROXIMATE.
A) The alignment of five large trees = 7 degrees (north east). This alignment is almost parallel with the 7 trees MEDIUM / LARGE. 

B) The dead tree (birch) on the ground in the western part = 5 degrees (north east) is almost parallel to the 7 trees MEDIUM / LARGE.

C) The alignment of trees 2 to 1 in the southern part = 11 degrees (north east) approaches the 7 trees MEDIUM / LARGE. 

D) The degree of the dead aligned trees (parallel on the ground) in the western part = 350 degrees (north west) was unplanned. These trees were aligned before the discovery of the main alignment (MEDIUM / LARGE). They are horizontally parallel and the exercise are almost parallel to the 7 trees MEDIUM / LARGE. 
           
E) The side (Ø) of the horizontal Golden triangle = 5 degrees (north east), is the same one as the 7 LARGE trees. For more information, please view ENC 61 D (3a).

The dead tree (birch) on the ground was not removed in 2007 because of the attached vegetation and is a supporting part of the key alignment of the 7 trees MEDIUM / LARGE (2010). 

The alignment of the trees 2 to 1 of the southern part. For more information, please view Tr 2 (2). 

For the left image: Explanations further to the right.
In the above images, unlike the live trees (vertically parallel) the fallen trees/branches leaning against the others and on the ground are not parallel to one another. Looking at the top left and the image below it (right side) we find that the thought process is busy trying to find a non exiting connection between these non parallel lines = high level of cerebral activities. For more information, please see connecting image 61 D (before & after) and COM 55.

The dead trees are parallel to one another, reducing cerebral activities. When the brain analyses one, it analyze them all at once. Each one, combined with the others, creates a bond with the other parallel elements including the 7 trees MEDIUM / LARGE. 
The trees that grow in that area are mainly conifers (opacity = needles) with some birches (transparency = leaves). The dead birches are inside the X. For more information, please view TR 2 (2). The walking trail (exercise) is almost parallel with the 7 trees MEDIUM / LARGE, although this was unplanned.

Images to the left: The few dead trees on the ground are aligned with the large trees of the northern part.
Images to the right:
The side Ø of the horizontal Golden triangle is parallel to the 7 large trees of the northern part (5 degrees North East). For more information, please view Tr2 (1d-g, 2, 3, and 4).

TRANSITION 2 (1d)

Continuity of SMALL / MEDIUM / LARGE.
Pre requisite: Nature, unified music and Tr 2 (1a, b, c).
The small arrows indicate the place where the photographs were taken.

In addition to the aligned five large trees / the aligned dead tree (birch) on the ground / the horizontally aligned dead trees on the ground / the aligned trees 2 to 1 / and the horizontal Golden triangle with the alignment of the 7 trees medium / large, the physical EXERCISE plays a very important part in the comprehension of this transition from small/average/large as explained in the following images.

To be viewed on a screen (1000 pixels or more) in width.

61D/section 2 (approximate) 10 meters

The diagrams are APPROXIMATE.

A) The alignment of an equilateral triangle with the small fir tree, For more information, please view ENC 61 D (3a).

B) This exercise includes three 360 degrees analysis: A small circle that is connected to an oval and to an almost circle (larger), For more information, please view ENC 61 D (3b).

C) The curvature of the trail in the center of the almost circle is a precursor to the small fir tree that is equal to its surrounding largest trees and is connected with the curvature of two of the large trees. For more information, please view Tr 2 (2).
The combination of the alignment of the 7 trees medium / large as well as the exercise not only elaborates a fluid transition for the opposition of the tiny and small pine tree to the total surrounding, but also introduces the following: The oppositions of the small triangle opposed to the large hidden one and the curvature of the trail at the center (pointing to the east) with the curvatures of two trees (pointing west).

The tiny tree is contained by an equilateral triangle (3 sides) pointing in opposite direction with the large one, another preparation to the transition from small / large.
The small fir tree is surrounded by 7 pieces of wood, because of the seven trees in each part (east, south, west, north). Possibility for the rule of three and seven…
The pieces of wood forming the large equilateral triangle were removed in 2009 because the linear triangle was interfering with the transition brown / green, especially on the ground, etc. To be viewed in the right image and some that follow.

When the small fir tree is illuminated, the transition from large (several trees) to small (tiny and small tree) becomes very obvious when seen from the northern side of the triangle.

The exercise consists with not only of walking among connecting forms small / medium / large but of  experiencing the progression of the small circle to the medium oval and to the largest one (progressive analysis of the environment from every angle), etc

The trail was designed as if the diameter of the small tree were equal to the large trees (left and above images). This happened before the appearance of the tiny tree and the realization of the curvatures in the higher part of two of the large trees: In the tree directly in front of the curvature in the trail, there is a curvature pointing in the opposite direction. There is another curvature and much larger than the previous one near the top of another tree further south (central image/right). It also points west and directly towards the meeting between the straight line tree and the curve one.
The trail (curve towards the east) is complementary to the curvatures of the two large trees pointing west. For more information, please view Tr2 (2). 

TRANSITION FROM VERY SMALL TO VERY LARGE 
The volume is approximate and calculated according to the trunks of the trees:

1- The tiny tree (0.2 cm in diameter by 3 cm high): 0,1 cm square X 3.1416 = 0.031416 X 30 cm high = 0.94248 cubic centimeters.
2- the small tree (2 cm in diameter by 135 cm high): 1 cm square X 3.1416 = 3.1416 X 135 cm high = 424.116 cubic centimeters. 
3- one of Douglas (100 cm in diameter by 3800 cm high): 50 cm square X 3.1416 = 7854 X 3800 cm high = 29,845,200 cubic centimeters.
4- the completed space: 30 X 57.6 by 35 m high = 60,480,000,000 cubic centimeters. 60,480,000,000/5301.45 = 11,408,199.64 times the passage of the tiny tree to completed space (2011). 
5- the total space: 50.34 X 100.64 by 35 m high = 177,317,616,000 cubic centimeters. 177317616000/5301.45 = 33,447,003.37 times the passage of the tiny tree to total space.

This exercise (walk) demonstrates how we can learn how to live in a connecting environment without the use of pencils, brushes, musical instruments, pens...to eventually free ourselves from the conditioning of the manufactured world, or almost static thinking. The repetition of this pleasing exercise helps in understanding that very small / small / medium / large are as important as the total space, because of the prepared passage between the various elements, already explained in the music of Bach, Beethoven, or the images of Escher, La Tour… Theory: The connecting elements of a unified sphere = a very high level of recognizable sensory information = triggering the mind to seek and find personal and universal solutions… The voyage inside the sphere (Transition 2) is exceptionally rare. For more information, please view Tr2 (1e-g, 2, 3, and 4).

It is not recommended to reproduce this exercise into a virtual 2 D or 3D animation without having experiencing it live, and frequently. Repeating this exercise in order to become familiarized with its information is very important. Nature is a laboratory of information which contains an infinite quantity of invaluable information.
