,-«/†£§@## about removing the source of the action ##@§£†/«-,
,,-«/†£§@# from yourself. it works by exploiting a #@§£†/«-,,
,-«/†£§@## kind of gravity, called the ##@§£†/«-,

,-«/†£§@## least energetic state. all potential is ##@§£†/«-,

,,-«/†£§@# specific and intricate canals, for this #@§£†/«-,,
,-«/†£§@## to happen in a controlled manner. think ##@§£†/«-,

,-«/†£§@## entropy. ##@§£†/«-,
,,-«/†£§@# #@§£†/«-,,
,-«/†£§@## and then, when the circuit closes, the ##@§£†/«-,

,-«/†£§@## ##@§£†/«-,

,-«/†£§@## filament of your canal is too weak, or ##@§£†/«-,
,,-«/†£§@# the potential is high enough to escape #@§£†/«-,,
,-«/†£§@## any self-closing mechanisms - a breach. ##@§£†/«-,
,,-«/†£§@# #@§£†/«-,,
,-«/†£§@## these are usually catastrophic. ##@§£†/«-,

,-«/†£§@## in that case the outcome depends on the ##@§£†/«-,

,-«/†£§@## even be noticeable by the uninitiated; ##@§£†/«-,
