LFM
In order to develop your LFM you will notate the chosen procedures as performance models, representing agents, forces, trajectories, pressures, intensities, interactions, and so on. For this work, probing is the right kind of engagement: testing possibilities for combinations with a half conscious mind. Through the probing of multiple possible combinations you will come across the five or six that become productive as a machine; generating rules for your performance system. You’ll observe resistances, accumulations, alignements, repetitions, perforations, compressions, porosities, infiltrations and qualitative shifts that bring your system from one state of equilibrium into another. Process your list of operative terms, so that you can describe the observed with great and greater specificity. Define nodal or attractor points and lever or control points that you can identify as the moments when qualitative change occurs. Identify and name them. They identify your system.

WEEK THREE
Building a Lean Fighting Machine
TODAY
Pin-Up next to your Sparring Mate (all D. all M.). Present as in a dance, in a good fight. Consider the presentation as part of your project.
TONIGHT
Focus on words tonight. Write down the feedback you have received earlier, then work on your privileged set of words. Read boxing lingo on the web, in magazines, books and boxing lexica (see word below). One part of your word list focuses on technique, another on the corresponding effects. You are the expert now on the organization of X. Mark and put into words the Properties and Behaviours of specific points within the organization (trigger points, turning points, high points). Work in operative terms. Develop your own logic on how to compress data contained in X notations into one dense performance model - first into one of words (W.1, 12 point helvetica on white paper (8 1/2 x 11 panorama).
TOMORROW
Starting tomorrow build your Lean Fighting Machine (LFM). Produce 3+ drawings (D.35-37 (8 1/2 x 11 or 8 1/2 x 33 panorama)) and 1+ sketch Model (M.5).
THURSDAY
Pin-Up with your Sparring Mate (D.9-37, M.1-5, W.1), present together.
