The Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu wrote in the moral classics that ignoring the line of sight and avoiding touch are things of dormancy; lines and the blank space are mutually supportive. Here is a place where representational presence becomes a form of absence. Absence is created by a mathematical operation that compares and changes the distance between one point and various others. When hand drawing, meaningless lines depict the idea of ​​being absent from the real world but exist only in the mind. In a physical machine environment, the presence of a magnetic field causes a disturbance in the trajectory of the pendulum resulting into territorial densities of  lines that also express absence.
