Description: I arrange constraints with fragments of street-sourced debris—corroded wire, steel, and plastic—through the I-Ching's coin toss method, a cosmological procedure where randomness reveals pattern rather than chaos. As a live slime mold growing on silk responds to rust, moisture, and shifting substrates, its body leaves thin tendrils across silk: a contact script shaped by chemotactic decisions rather than human intention. Here, the organism stages wuwei as a competing model of agency, where effortless action unfolds through entanglement with material conditions rather than being possessed by a human subject.
