Geometry of Points

Geometry of Points
-----------------------

Are we not points
In continuous n-dimensional spaces
Of affects, moods, temperaments, traits
And other things
That make us what we are
And what we aren't

A point comes into being
Like a star in the sky
With an intrinsic initial value
Of position, velocity,
Direction and luminosity
Sometimes called gift
And sometimes fate

A point isn't fixed
Moves simultaneously
Over time and
Along many dimensions
Guided by forces of
The related points,
Gravity of surroundings,
Turns of events, and
Inner molecular-mechanics.

Some oscillate like a pendulum
On the dimensions of moods
Shuttling between bi-poles
As if governed by
A law of motion of Physics

Perhaps the points are
Distributed statistically
Normally for each dimension
With unknown and
Unquantifiable Mean
And Standard Deviation
The extreme a value
More dominance over the point
The averages being 'normal'

What are your co-ordinates ?
