streamless

When we become pure project again, because we have been divested of the things that fill our lives and that give it weight and meaning, we are disconnected from the world, isolated and streamless. It is our intentionality that reconnects us, but pure intentionality and pure freedom are initially purely confusing.

The cave is maze-like, comprised of a series of joint controlled passages that were apparently originally streamless; but it has been excavated for paleontological material (Richards 1994), and one area now contains flowing water.

The remaining ruptures farther up coincide with structural changes of the habitat: the stream-dependent amphibians respond to the change of the main watercourse from permanent to intermittent at 1450 m, the reptiles respond to the submontane-montane transitional zone around 1850 m, and all amphibians are pooled to the lower end of the streamless zone at 1550 m.
