Device: Bifurcating Light Device

Here's a simple device, constructed at Manchu Edison Film Corporation.

Fireworks bifurcate. There's a very small type that Japanese and also Japanese-Manchurian children play or played with in the summer, back in the city of Shinkyo, back when that country was there, and that firework,always the same, is made of twisted paper with a bit of gunpowder at the end. Once lit, you hold carefully, until a molten ball appears at the end. At a certainly size and temperature, sparks appear one from the other, twigs from branches and then dispearing into the next forking.... a bifurcation...  as if you were watching the birth of a minature universe and end of the world at the end of the paper at the end of your hand.

This device is an attempt to make physical and permanent that creation/destruction. Of course, it only captures a single spark at a single moment, and makes it relatively permanent... on or off. Such machines were originally used during the creation and distribution of the Telepathic Film in Manchuria, by the Manchu Edison Movietalkers. There were more than 100 different types of these machines, each of which has its' own short video, which I hope to present here. 

In this short test, you can see Jacob Maker, who is the process of making the transition to The Making of the Telepathic Motion Picture of THE LOST TRIBES. I think we will just leave the reasons for his observation and participation in the invention blank for the moment.

Above are other characters I also haven't introduced, the Frog in his 8 aspects of identical dance.... more on that later as well.
