Excising Excess
Whirling and pulsating behaviors initially generate cells with three components: thin, round, hard members (bones); flat, hard, elastic members (tendons); bulbous, soft, elastic parts (fats). As fats accumulate, excision reorients connection points among all types of members enabling new configurations.
The entry procession of a mosque similarly removes distraction through separation -- encouraging a shedding of material excess.
