A) The grounding.
B) The ground.
C) Thought is de-grounded as it passes through the ground at (B), and emerges from the spout at (C). 'Percolation' introduces time into the schema. Not only does thought pass upwards through space, but it matures in the temporal process of percolation. The temporal is also where we find the sexual. As percolation - the 'ejaculation of thought' - comes to an end, the system produces an epiphenomenon, which is consciousness in the form of steam. Completion of the process is indicated by the crescendo of sounds emitted; Bergsonians should be interested to note how intimitely linked are the steam of consciousness and the 'music of the system'.
