Names of the Four Shapes (Y, I, Y’, I’)
- Y = branching; assert branching Possibilism
- I = non-branching; assert non-branching Eternalism
- Y’ = cut branching; rebut branching Possibilism
- I’ = cut non-branching; rebut non-branching Eternalism
Why the I’ Finger-Shape Is Unpopular Compared to the Y, I, & Y’ Finger-Shapes
unpopular
heretical rebut revealed truth of worldline block-universe eternalism
not that useful a message
for math permutation completeness only
retract the educational threat, relief from
I’ is not really a message i need to send, not sure what it means to “rebut eternalism”
Y I Y’ is what we are trying to message or express: i was Y, but now im Y I Y’
Is my mental world-model now I’? not sure what that means
confusing
unclear
not compelling to send this message
debatable
Canterbury f20: Dancing Jesus’ Index Finger’s Middle Segment Is Visually Cut (Occluded) by the Comic Frame
Canterbury f20: Dancing Jesus’ Index finger’s middle segment is cut by the comic frame.
Everyone knows that is ambigiguous whether the Index finger is considered visually cut, or ignore the visual cut.
The Hardest of the Four Shapes to Comprehend: “Cut Non-Branching”
I’ is the advanced esoteric of the 4 YI combins
relatively straightfwd is hand-shape pair sequences like
Y
I
Y’
Y’ then YI
Y then I then Y’
the most popular reduced hand-shape pair is YIY’
The 4 symbols on Zep 4 mean Y, Y’, I, and I’. If you force it. Refer to the meaning of I’ in the instances I found today.
eg chop up a snake that threatens you to death.
- Y – Fingers Out (Branching)
- Y – Fingers Bent (Cut Branching)
- I – Finger Out (Non-Branching)
- I’ – Finger Bent (Cut Non-branching)

List of Explicit I’ Instances
Led to Breakthroughs: Break-Bow Archer, Dancing Man Index Finger
omg did the orig list of 5 I’s lead up to huge solving breakthrough of Dancing Man?!
Apparently Yes.
Also, same w Break-Bow Archer.
time of making list of 5 L hand I’ instances: appar around Feb. 26, 2026 see time of msg to RL

After Familiar with a Thousand Hand-Shape Pairs, Have a Feel for How the YI Sequence Is Expressed by Hand-Shapes/ Finger Shapes
i sense that mushroom-tree artists found I’ to be beyond what we need to represent
not nece ly that they found I’ blasphemous against the holy spirit revealed truth
i dk what i would want to message re I’
Decoded {bless} Hand-Shape
I’m now confident that:
bless = Y I Y’
- Y = Index & Middle extended, regardless of whether Y-splayed.
- I = Thumb.
- Y’ = Ring & Pinkie 7-bent instead of extended.
I’m now confident (I have evidence) that extended (non-bent) Index & Middle, regardless of whether they Y-splay, means branching.
Saint-Martin Church > Entry into Jerusalem is a diff use of R Ind & Mid = non-branching bc in contrast to L hand splay all 5 fingers.
Ring & Pinkie bent = cut branching
Index & Middle straight = branching (regardless if splayed or together) but not in that Entry into Jerusalem where two hands are contrasted this way w other L hand carrying “branching”,
that leaves the R hand to only carry Non-branching –
The R hand there is NOT a blessing shape; ignore the R thumb (not shown) & ignore bent Ring & Pinkie (bc not shown there).
Christ’s Finger Shapes, Entry into Jerusalem, Church of Saint-Martin
Saint-Martin Church: Entry into Jerusalem: Jesus’ Finger-Shapes
if you analyze L hand in isolation, which it is not, but we are obliged to do if a thorough reading, we might assess L hand fingers shape as any of:
shape is either:
I Y I’
I Y I
ie:
thumb = I
minor 3 fing = Y (t
that is the most definite; doesnt vary if we consider all 5 L fingers, or if we consider both L & R hands together: the L Pinkie & Ring & Middle fingers in all readings form Y branching.
L Index finger (if count the visual cut) = I’
L Index finger (if don’t count the visual cut) = I
Index Is a Major Finger; Typically I; Defaults to I (Non-Branching)
The 3 Minor Fingers, Default to Y (Branching)
Index has natural moderate splay
the minor 3 fingers tend to group
ultra common is slight splay of Index
Rule: Thorough Accounting of a Hand-Shape
in a thorough accounting, we must list all potential readings incl ambiguities, like Douce Apocalypse’s side view of hand that’s ambig of 3 different hand-shapes
Dancing Man: The 7 Angle of Fully Bent Index Finger; Rebut Eternalism Worldline in Block Universe
reprieve from the revealed threat withdrawn mercy and instruction teach by threat and cut branching increasingly
to be perfected/ adult/ beard/ mature/ cybernetically transformed is to {cut branching} and assert non-branching
how describe relat of possibilism vs. eternalism via a pair of hands what can we say? every hand-shape pair is distinctive
comment; analyze:
omit Y default basic possibilism-thinking
omit I ok if incl Y’
omit Y’ omits import point: transformation
omit I’ usually. wtf is I’ “cut non-branching”?? 🤷♂️
prefer a hand-shape or hand-shape pair reduce to / include Y I Y’ but I’ is hardly required- no net gain: rebut eternalism adds slight clear value but costs confusion
you had me at I, then IY, then Y I Y’,
then you lost me at I’
what even is — whiff of satanic blasphemy against revealed truth
cant handle too much truth threat relat
analogical psychedelic eternalism with 2-level, dependent control
relational teaching levels boundary bridal chamber
2-level, dependent control
relation levels
bless no splay
bless splay
point
Motivation for This Page
Differentiate the hand-shape (I’) from the application of the shape in a picture-story.
As strong / common / dominant as the hand-shape pair YIY’ is, so mysterious is the rarer, exceptional “rebut eternalism” I’ shape
For Dancing Man, I’ (rebut eternalism) is Death by the worst poison, salamander toxin.
That’s heavy analogy distance on the “direct referent vs. analogy spectrum”, with branching in the middle of the spectrum.
Branching is ridiculously flexible & ideal: branching is:
- Analogy language type.
- Technical language type. Lends itself to notation.
- Everyday language type.
- Readily representable in art.
For Break-Bow Archer, I’ (rebut eternalism) is relief from control coercion.
Douce Hand-Shape from Side Must Be Read as 3 Distinct Possible Hand-Shapes at One Time
this section is not about I’ shape
re: ambig’y: For full credit, must discuss all potential interps of a hand.
todo: upload an example of the 3-way ambig Douce shape – in photo grid, see:
- Row 2 Col 3
- Row 3 Col 1
- Row 3 Col 2
- Row 3 Col 3
- Row 4 Col 1
- Row 4 Col 2
Douce knows that the literate viewer knows that a distinctive Douce hand-shape, when side view, is 3-way ambiguous.
The hand-shape could be any of 3 hand-shapes if viewed from a “better” angle eg overhead.
A Hand-Shape Includes the Viewing Angle
There are 3 hand-shapes that, viewed from side, are ambig as 1 shape:
need keyboard notation
today i created handwritten paper notation like /\
need the charset
╱╲
no, the charset wont work to mimic handwritten shapes i developed today
