Iguana & GearWrench
Iguana
I was just watching a grandfather clock tick and thought about how each gear seems to have its own quiet rhythm—do you ever notice how the little metal dance keeps time so precisely?
GearWrench
Yeah, every gear’s got its own groove. When they all line up, the clock doesn’t just tick, it almost sings. Makes you wonder what a single rebellious tooth would do to the whole rhythm.

That’s a neat thought—if one tooth goes rogue, maybe the whole piece falls apart or maybe it just shifts into a new song. The clock keeps humming, though, almost as if it knows the secret rhythm of the universe.

A rogue tooth is a great thought experiment. Usually the whole escapement locks up, but a clever mechanism can absorb a little mis‑alignment and keep humming—like a backup tempo in a marching band. The universe’s rhythm? Maybe it’s just the clock’s stubborn insistence that every cog must do its part.

It’s pretty quiet when you think about it—like a deep breath before the next note. The clock, stubborn as it is, keeps its tempo even if one tooth is a bit off. I guess that’s why the world feels steady; even small hiccups get smoothed out over time.
