If you find yourself noticing Special Composition, relax your mind and experience the following types of things. |

| == How to approach each of these exercises TODO delete once I create a more approachable description ==
| |
| ** individual parts - Notice they are discrete and autonomous in their own way - A rock is its own thing, disconnected from the other rocks in a pile.
| |
| ** two or more individual parts - How do they relate and compare and contrast; how do they work together; what connects them and separates them
| |
| ** similarities and differences between the following, noting how a system is composed and connected to other systems
| |
| *** specialized systems (cars driving in one direction together)
| |
| *** parallel systems (two lanes of cars)
| |
| *** opposing systems (two directions of traffic)
| |
| *** "ecology" - many systems that are loosely related (light poles, sidewalks and streets)

|
| |
| * Cars moving with you - all one system, but all individual cars
| |
| * Cars moving against you vs with you - two separate systems with opposing objectives, but at the same time, part of the same system of traffic flowing
| |
| * Notice other Systems and combinations of Systems, very similar to what you would notice when [[#Walking|Walking]].
