Bird’s-eye-view-range-finder-sights (window hull / golden section / witness), after position adjustment and arranging, consults for reference annotated diagrammatic linear chart guide on moire fiche (veiled ghost / filter / cloud). Separately and together, bird’s-eye-view-range-finder-sights and annotated diagrammatic linear chart guide on moire fiche blur, clear, focus, register, alter, enlarge, shrink and memorise, exceeding the very last detail, themselves, each other and much more else besides — including cartographic maquette landscape relief map (tabletop / nursery toy / playground). Cartographic maquette landscape relief map, reverse proof reads annotated diagrammatic linear chart guide on moire fiche, which bird’s-eye-view-range-finder-sights shines straight through — and further on than beyond outwards.

Bird’s-eye-view-range-finder-sights and annotated diagrammatic linear chart guide on moire fiche exercise x-ray vision to trepan and excavate cartographic maquette landscape relief map. Separately and together, all three parties struggle to police and tailor themselves, each other and much more else besides, mutually exchanging semaphore and shadowgraph motif signals, magic lantern and lava lamp projections. And so on and so forth etc until differences and scores resolve within themselves, between each other and amongst much more else besides, thus: bird’s-eye-view-range-finder-sights, semi mists, branded with calibration, grids, contours, arrows, symbols and commentary from annotated diagrammatic linear chart guide on moire fiche (window hull / filter / playground); annotated diagrammatic linear chart guide on moire fiche, quasi defrosts, vivisected by squares, crosses, circles, notches and dot points from bird’s-eye-view-range-finder-sights (veiled ghost / nursery toy / witness); separately and together, annotated diagrammatic linear chart guide on moire fiche and bird’s-eye-view-range-finder-sights multi expose their marks all over cartographic maquette landscape relief map, before bird’s-eye-view-range-finder-sights and annotated diagrammatic linear chart guide on moire fiche somehow acquire and share out coasts, irrigation, mountains, aforestation, wildlife, population, cultivation, buildings and development, whilst cartographic maquette landscape relief map is mercifully relieved of coincidentally similar burdens (tabletop / golden section / cloud).
And so on and so forth etc until differences and scores resolve, within themselves, between each other and amongst much more else besides. Finally, these reshuffled musical chairs laminate, adhere, melt, mould, freeze, vitrify and fossilise into trinity glazed peaceable kingdom, comprising: stained glass and gemstone computer game icon conservatories (tabletop / filter / witness); automated meteorological weather forecast jigsaw puzzles (window hull / nursery toy / cloud); and crystal funfair and cemetery ranches on glacier and dune, golf course and runway (veiled ghost / golden section / playground).
