North? First, we have to locate North. It is neither a direction nor a place. It is more like a state used to describe phase behavior (e.g. gaseous or liquid), or allotropic designation (e.g. coal, graphite, diamond, buckyball or nanotube forms of carbon). It could be an emotion experienced in complete isolation. Or it could be the timeless existence of people sitting in wooden chairs on an empty stage, forgetting and waiting, while the light from a companion star takes a journey of millions of miles.
Maybe a functional definition of North could be useful.
North reveals itself as a narrowing of perception. There is a decrease in entities to perceive, and the significance of these entities, both structural and conceptual, becomes increasingly questionable. You do not return from North. Your disappearance can be mapped with decreasing accuracy, but never understood nor retraced.
Perhaps this is the sound of North:
"Alle Menschen Müssen Sterben"
