A hand for memory...

Mapped to the hand according to distance from object of perception (length of digit as bar in graph)

thumb = touch

index = smell

middle = sight

ring = hearing

pinky = taste

we depart from the classical gradation [sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste] and inhabit a basic universe of mechanical arts. Experience how touch reaches out for the others. How difficult it is for taste and sight to "touch" with hearing in the way and how simply their interaction becomes when each meets at the thumb.

The classical gradation laid out degrees of incorporation. The hand map to the senses enlightens the play of embodiment. Codes a set of mudras.

I like to think of 101 as binary for decimal five and the number of many an introductory course.

And so for day 101
