On topic "Don't hop back on the garden path like some little lemming. Or I'll erase everything and start you over entirely for your own good.
The garden path?
Everything's connected. Don't over think it."Ley lines  Quoting: Fancypantz "I wouldn't. Playing with time is such difficult magic. You'll just make it worse.
Make what worse?
And it won't stop him coming.
Who?
The beast. You're in the school. He's going to find you. You're the one he wants. You have to learn.
Learn what?
Look down. You are on the garden path. Stay on. The beast will kill you. Kill everyone. Step off the path or...."

A garden path sentence, such as "The old man the boat," is a grammatically correct sentence that starts in such a way that a reader's most likely interpretation will be incorrect; the reader is lured into a parse that turns out to be a dead end or unintended. Garden path sentences are used in psycholinguistics to illustrate the fact that when human beings read, they process language one word at a time. "Garden path" refers to the saying "to be led down the garden path", meaning to be deceived, tricked, or seduced.
Garden path sentences figuratively lead the reader toward a seemingly familiar meaning that is actually not the one intended. They are a special type of sentence that creates a momentary ambiguous interpretation because that it contains a word or phrase that can be interpreted in multiple ways, causing the reader to begin to believe a sentence will mean one thing when in reality it means something else. After reading, the sentence seems ungrammatical and makes almost no sense, requiring reread to fully understand its meaning after careful parsing.
Quoting: Fancypantz Read more at: [ link to transcripts.foreverdreaming.org] Something hidden in the pepper, lol The garden path is similar to giving a child a compass with a symmetric needle. The point at both ends becoming the gift of ambiguity as both values were two choices of which is north and which is south. Communication and trial and error fixed it over time. Time. Lol This is similar quandary about the ambiguity of fields and forces in space. So arose the gauge theory.
