Iambig… were you the one who shot at the said monk… I recall you said you were in Vietnam.
Yeah… my only complaints against those four basic principles would be misdirection and traps/ambushes, but that’s solvable with a change of language, I don’t think the actual behavior guided by the former vocabulary would change.
During WW1 there was a effort to push camoflague away from cover and concealment to misdirection… battleships would be painted paradoxically, so as to confuse bombers and enemy ships into hitting strong points. Akido is based on this.
Formlessness via disinformation can also be applied… but I’m not convinced it’s really different or I should say, alienated from cover and concealment, or suppression or movement… it can be present in any, not I dependent of the act. Just… given our emphasis on by the book, orthodox engineering of formations and fixed positions, we don’t really get that deep anymore unless it’s throwing some wooden crates or dirt over a giving position. Snipers don’t really, but scouts do… especially masking heat signatures or making false ones, but… then again that is cover and concealment, your getting inside of someones ability to Orient and Observe, controlling their reaction cycle.
Same for kinds of fixed traps, like Heron of Byzantium… but even then, in regards to the relativity of depositional warfare, getting someone to fall for a trap involve a play on cover and concealment, movement. You gotta get them into position.
A adaptation of language us more needed than a elimination of four terms, as they can’t be divorced from them. Its hard to separate a noun and a verb when tactical principles are being discussed.
Intuitively knowing extrasensory isn’t legit. You can try the dropping ruler test to know better.
Put a ruler in your hand, and drop it, catching it in the other. You catch it pretty fast.
Put the ruler in another persons hand, try to catch it, you catch it with a greater delay. The hearing of a trigger cracking is far, far too close in relation to the bullet going off, I don’t need to see a video to know he wasn’t moving from a trigger squeeze but was moving cause he decided it was time to move… it’s purely coincidental we can measure a sound of a trigger to movement, our neurons and ability to mske reflective decisions, much less conscious ones, isnt that fast, we are not Jedi. Period. No Ifs Ands Or Buts.
