Action and the bias for it, thoughts relating to its composition, define our existence (a verb) for posterity. Every verb has its own re-verb, its own resonance and expression, virtual or real, soliciting a reaction. Defining it is also a verb-and So are we, perpetually in the process of becoming.

A word 'expressing' an action or a state of being—verbs describe what we ‘do.’ How would the expression of the future be articulated with human creativity, through probing, preserving, prototyping, and rectifying?
