seismograph, continued.

generally, the purpose of a seismograph is to record intensity and direction of earthly oscillations in the context of time. specifically, relative to my project, the purpose of the seismograph is to record the intensity and duration of the energy, strength, and currents of the river. when viewed as a device for charting the river's view of culture in the context of time, it becomes a method to evaluate a country. if the mud of the river is the ink of the seismograph and varied movements lend to different markings, then the seismograph no longer merely exists to record the succession and variation of the earth's tremors.
