Law of what?

[Chris Corrigan]

The International OS Committee Responsible for Reviewing Grammer and
Other Oversights has held an emergency meeting of the Oversights
subcommittee to deal with the issue of the alternate name of the Law of
Two Feet/Mobility....

The Oversights subcommittee met in Open Space around the theme "How can
we encompass movement and pith in an inclusive Law?"

Several discussion groups were convened, with instructions to obey the
Law that Moves You (carefully worded so as not to prejudice the outcome
of the discussions).  Participants were acutely aware throughout the day
of how they were flitting around the room.  Some walked, some rolled,
some somersaulted.  Some of those dressed as wizards even managed to
teleport from group to group.

Initially it seemed that there was consensus around the following
points:

1.    Language matters, even if it doesn't matter
2.    People move.
3.    People move using two of something (except for the one participant
who insisted on leaping around on a pogo stick)
4.    It's the Law.

In the end several ideas came forward, notably:

The Law of Operative Limbs
The Law of Dual Mobility Devices
The Law of Bimodal Transportation
The Law of Two Feet, Their Substitutes and Representatives
The Law of Six Feet and Two Wings (a concession to the fact that despite
everything, bees have two wings and six feet, and rarely walk anywhere
-- this one was deemed not very practical)
The Law of Pith and Substance Regarding the Mechanics of Movement
The Law of Unassisted Mobility and Free Will
The Law of the Technology of Movement
The Law of Moving Tools
The Law of Tooling Movement
The Law of Non-Stationary Participation Using Any Means Necessary

In the end, the only consensus that could be arrived at was that regular
movements are good for you.

This single recommendation will be forwarded to the International OS
Committee
Responsible for Reviewing Grammer and Other Oversights for review at
their annual meeting coinciding with OSonOS in Berlin.
