“If I move slower, how many forms will I find?”

I thought I would need to seek out forms, but discovered that, through the act of play, forms would find me. Discovery becomes the by-product of a practice of attention where hypotheses are developed experientially as movement. How many forms exist between a sphere and a cube? My hands and eyes seek out the answer. By slowing down my movements I begin to discover the threshold; how the number of forms is limited only by the speed of my hands and my ability to detect change. If I move slower, how many forms will I find?
