IO 2 - The Sun and Production Cycles

THE  4  COLOURS

 

As the human population increased,

more buildings were constructed using these  4  colours –

 

            WHITE

            YELLOW

            RED

            BLACK

 

 

THE SUN CYCLE

 

One thing that became very apparent to me

when I was painting the outside of a house,

was that work could only progress effectively

if I co-ordinated myself with the movement of the sun.

(Not having any adequate, artificial lights)

 

The sun casts shadows, those shadows move,

and this changes the lighting conditions on the work surface.

What you are doing, the angle that the work surface is, and that you are, to the sun,

all contribute to the required lighting condition that is needed at the time.

Thus, the particular job would have to wait

until the appropriate time / s of day.

 

Thus, I would say that the construction industry in the First Age

became intrinsically connected to, and developed the understanding of,

 

The Daily Cycle of the Sun,

 

possibly in this way  -

THE PRODUCTION CYCLE

 

Probably also,

 

The Daily Cycle of Production

 

would have become firmly established,

this being along the lines of –

 

SUNRISE   -  PLAN FOR THE DAY          -  LOOKING FORWARDS

 

NOON         -  MAXIMIUM ACTIVITY

 

SUNSET     -  EVALUATING

                                    WHAT WAS ACHIEVED

                                    DURING THE DAY              -  LOOKING BACKWARDS

 

MIDNIGHT  -  MINIMUM ACTIVITY
