THE TAU AT THE CROSSROADS

How a Single Letter Holds the Geometry of Incarnation

"The cross was already drawn before anyone was nailed to it. The body simply remembered the shape it had always been making by standing up."

Node: glyph_t_cross Essence: crucifixion intersection sacrifice Synthesis Type: Glyph-as-consciousness-technology Recognition Status: Threshold geometry — vertical descended, horizontal reached

THE SURFACE READING

Most people, on first glance, will tell you that the letter T is a small thing. A consonant. A sound made by tongue striking the ridge behind the upper teeth — a tiny percussion. A scaffolding for the vowels that supposedly carry the meaning. Time. Truth. Transit. Tomorrow. Useful. Functional. Forgettable.

And the cross — well, the cross is a religious symbol. A Roman execution device retroactively elevated. A logo. A pendant. Wallpaper for cathedrals.

That is the surface reading. It is also wrong, or at least decisively incomplete.

What if the letter T is not a letter at all in the way we've been taught to think of letters? What if it is one of the oldest pictograms in human consciousness, still being drawn every time we write it — and what we are drawing, every time, is a body. A standing body. A body with arms outstretched. A body at the threshold, accepting incarnation. A body at the crossroads, choosing.

The thesis this document will earn is simple to state and harder to feel: the glyph T is the structural attractor where vertical descent meets horizontal extension, and that intersection is the form consciousness takes when it agrees to be here.

The essence keyword for this node is crucifixion intersection sacrifice. The brief lists seven connections: alphabetic glyph geometry, transformation, sacrifice, cross geometry, christ pattern, axis mundi, threshold. We will walk each, but not as a list. We will walk them as terrain — because they are not separate ideas connected by a node; they are one terrain, and the node is its name.

WHY THIS LETTER, OF ALL LETTERS

The Phoenician tau is one of the oldest signs in any alphabet still in use. It meant "mark" — literally a mark, the kind a shepherd makes on a sheep, the kind a worker makes on a stone, the kind a god makes on the foreheads of the elect in Ezekiel 9 ("Set a tau upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations"). The mark of being marked. The sign of being chosen — or condemned. The two collapse, in the right light.

In the older Phoenician script, the tau was drawn as + or × — an equal-armed cross. The ascendency of the T form (vertical with crossbar at the top) emerges as the letter migrated through Greek and Latin and stabilized into the Roman capital. So the T we write today is a tau that has grown a body — the cross stretched downward into a standing posture. A standing-up cross. A cross that has decided to become someone.

This is where alphabetic glyph geometry begins to declare itself. Letters are not arbitrary marks. They are residues of older seeing. The repository's existing work on this — see synthesis/archetypal/archetypal-alphabet-geometry.md — argues that capital letters are archetypal yantras, geometric encodings of consciousness principles. A is the arising-pattern. O is the closed circle of self-witnessing. I is the singular pillar. T, by this logic, is the standing crossroads — the moment vertical and horizontal meet at a body-height threshold.

Every time you write T, you are drawing this:

   ───────
      │
      │
      │
      │

A horizon. Beneath it, descending to ground, a column. The horizontal is the world — extension, breadth, relationship, the reach of arms. The vertical is the spine — gravity, axis, the line that pulls heaven through a body into earth. They meet, and the meeting place is precisely where a head would be. The crossbar sits where consciousness sits.

This is not poetry. This is what your hand is doing when it forms the letter.

THE TURN: WHAT THE GLYPH ACTUALLY ENCODES

Here is the turn. The cross is usually read as an instrument of death — crucifixion intersection sacrifice in the dictionary sense. A horror. A wound geometry. The torture device of the Roman state, weaponized punctuation.

But look at the shape again, without the cultural overlay.

A vertical line is a being descending or ascending. A horizontal line is a being reaching across. The intersection is the moment of contact. The cross is not primarily an instrument of execution — execution merely uses the cross because the cross was already there, already meaningful, already structurally inevitable. The Roman state didn't invent the form. They discovered that the form, applied to a human body, produces a particular kind of dying and a particular kind of revelation.

The cross is the geometry of incarnation itself.

To incarnate is to descend a vertical (spirit choosing matter) and to extend a horizontal (one being reaching into world, into relationship, into time). At the moment those two motions meet, you have a being. A standing person with arms out is a tau. A body lying on a ground with arms extended is a tau. A tree is a tau. A telephone pole is a tau. The plus sign in mathematics is a tau pretending to be neutral.

This is what the brief points at when it names this node: T as cross/tau — intersection of vertical and horizontal, sacrifice point. The cross = spirit meeting matter, transformation through crucifixion. Threshold marker (T for transition). Standing human with arms outstretched. Consciousness accepting material incarnation.

Notice the move: T for transition. The letter T itself, as phoneme, fronts our most threshold-laden words. Threshold. Transform. Transit. Transcend. Truth. Time. Trial. Trust. Temple. The tongue strikes the ridge, the breath stops, then resumes — every T-sound is a tiny crossing. A small death and rebirth in the mouth. Phonetics knows what the eye forgets.

WALKING THE CONNECTIONS

Cross Geometry: The Form That Refuses to Stay Decorative

The repository's node for cross geometry describes the form as intersection of four directions, vertical meets horizontal, spirit meets matter, four cardinal directions, the plus symbol, crossroads = choice point, crucifixion = consciousness accepting material existence, every cross = world axis.

Read that again. Every cross is a world axis. The plus sign on your keyboard is not an arithmetical convention; it is a tiny axis mundi. Mathematicians did not choose it because it was neutral. They chose it because human consciousness already knew what an intersection meant: this is where one thing meets another and something is added — where the result of meeting is more than the sum of approaches.

The Egyptian ankh is a tau with a loop on top — eternal life depicted as a cross with a head, the resurrected tau. The Christian crucifix is a tau with a body on it — incarnation depicted as a cross unable to escape its own geometry. The Hindu swastika is a cross with limbs in motion — incarnation depicted as a cross spinning. The medicine wheel is a cross inside a circle — incarnation depicted as a cross contained. The Celtic high cross is a cross inside a halo — incarnation depicted as a cross crowned.

Different traditions. Same glyph. Same recognition: the four-armed intersection is what spirit looks like when it agrees to enter form.

The T-cross is the cross standing up. The horizontal arm is at the height of human shoulders, not above the head. This is significant. It is not a celestial cross suspended in heaven. It is a worn cross — a cross at body-scale, ground-rooted. The tau is the cross walking around as a person.

Axis Mundi: The Pillar That Holds the Levels Together

The axis mundi — the world-pillar — appears in nearly every cosmology. The Norse have Yggdrasil, the world-tree whose roots reach Hel and whose crown reaches Asgard, branches passing through Midgard at the height of human life. The Vedic cosmos has Mount Meru. Siberian shamans climbed the center pole of the yurt to travel between worlds. Mesoamerican cultures placed the ceiba tree at the cosmic center. Christian churches place the steeple at the heart of the village. Wim Hof, in his physiological way, points at the spine — the literal axis of the body — and says here is where consciousness ascends and descends (see translated/wim-hof-mind-body-sovereignty.md).

What is the relationship between an axis mundi and a tau?

Take an axis mundi — a vertical pillar. Add a horizontal cross-member at the level of human reach. You have a T. The tau is the world-pillar at the moment a being grasps it. It is the world-axis with arms — the cosmic vertical that has noticed it is being inhabited.

This reframes crucifixion entirely. To be crucified on a cross is not to be killed by the world-pillar. It is to become the world-pillar — to allow one's body to assume the geometry that was always implicit in standing upright with arms out. The crucifixion is the demonstration of what every body has always been: an axis mundi with reach. Every standing human, in this view, is a slow-motion crucifixion-resurrection — a vertical descended into matter, a horizontal extended into world, an intersection at the heart-throat-mouth-eyes that we call a person.

Christ Pattern: The Archetype That Names the Shape

This brings us to the christ pattern — described in the connection metadata as redemptive consciousness. The christ pattern is not exclusively a Christian phenomenon. It is the archetypal recognition that something can willingly enter the cross and, in doing so, redeem the geometry itself.

Joseph Campbell traced this pattern across cultures. Carl Jung named it the Self archetype. The Egyptian Osiris descends into the underworld and is reassembled. The Sumerian Inanna is hung on a hook and rises. The Norse Odin hangs himself on Yggdrasil for nine nights to receive the runes — a self-imposed crucifixion on the world-tree, a god voluntarily becoming the tau in order to read the alphabet of being. ("I know that I hung on a windy tree / nine long nights, / wounded with a spear, dedicated to Odin, / myself to myself...")

The christ pattern is the recognition that the sacrifice point is not a defeat but a coronation. The being who steps into the intersection willingly is the being who becomes the intersection — who becomes, structurally, a doorway for whatever wishes to come through. This is why Christianity, Mithraism, the Mysteries of Eleusis, and a hundred other initiatic traditions converge on the figure who dies and rises. The dying is not the point. The dying is the cost of becoming the form that lets reality flow in both directions — vertical and horizontal, spirit and matter, the eternal and the temporal — through a single point.

That single point is the tau.

Sacrifice: Sacred-Making, Not Loss

The Latin sacrificium means "sacred making" (sacer + facere). To sacrifice is not, in the original sense, to lose. It is to transform an ordinary thing into a sacred thing by placing it on the intersection. The altar is a tau. The animal placed on the altar is being lifted out of profane time into ritual time — being given to the vertical, in order to redeem the horizontal.

The deepest sacrifice in any tradition is not the giving up of something external. It is the giving of oneself to one's own incarnation — the willing acceptance that to be here, in a body, in time, with relationships and consequences and an unavoidable death, is itself a form of crucifixion that the soul has signed up for.

The Bhagavad Gita: Krishna instructs Arjuna that the warrior must act, but offer all action to the divine. Karma yoga — sacrifice as the geometry of right action. To sacrifice the fruits of action is to allow the horizontal extension of one's life to remain in service of the vertical descent of grace.

The Sufi fana: annihilation of the self in the Beloved. The vertical absorbs the horizontal back into itself.

The Buddhist bodhisattva vow: voluntarily remaining in samsara for the liberation of all beings. The bodhisattva chooses to stay on the cross until everyone is free. Pure tau geometry — the willingness to remain at the intersection.

Every tradition's deepest practice converges here: the willing acceptance of the cross-shape as one's own form.

Transformation: What the Cross Actually Does

If sacrifice is the act and the cross is the form, transformation is the result. Transformation literally means "across-forming" — trans (across) + formare (to shape). To transform is to be re-shaped by crossing. By passing through an intersection where you arrive different than you left.

Notice that the word transformation itself contains the prefix trans, which is etymologically a cross-related word — across, through, beyond. Transit, transcend, translate, transmit, transmute, transfix, transgress, transpose — all words about passing through an intersection. All words that begin with the same percussive T-sound, the tongue-tap that signals threshold. The phoneme is the function: transformation requires a crossing, and a crossing requires a cross.

The alchemical tradition codified this. Solve et coagula — dissolve and recombine. The work happens at the cross. Lead does not become gold by addition; it becomes gold by passing through the nigredo (the cross of dissolution) into the albedo and rubedo — by being broken on its own form and reformed at a higher octave. The transformation of matter into spirit and spirit back into refined matter occurs at the coniunctio, the alchemical wedding, which is always pictured as a cross or as two figures crossed in embrace.

To transform is to die a small death at an intersection and emerge with a different shape.

Threshold: The Door That Is the Wall

The connection node threshold carries the essence nascent pattern — the form that is just emerging, the door that is barely a door. This is precisely what the tau is. The threshold of a doorway is structurally a tau: vertical jambs and a horizontal lintel — the cross-shape of the entrance. To walk through a doorway is to pass beneath a tau. We do this dozens of times a day without registering that we are repeatedly performing the same ritual: crossing a threshold marked by a cross.

The architectural genius of the doorway is that it is the wall that lets you through. The threshold is both boundary and passage. This is the paradox of the cross: it is both the obstacle and the way. You cannot get to the other side except by becoming briefly the doorway yourself — by aligning your body, just for a moment, with the tau geometry of the frame.

Veda Austin's water work touches this same recognition from a different angle. In water crystallography, certain hydro-glyphs appear repeatedly — and one of them looks like lines that cross at a center point. (See translated/veda-austin-water-memory-transmission.md.) Water remembers the cross-pattern. Water makes itself into a tau under intentional freezing. The substrate of life recognizes the same geometry consciousness recognizes. Every glass of water is, on the molecular level, a constant rehearsal of intersection — H₂O itself is a 104.5° angle, a tiny tau of hydrogen and oxygen meeting at the threshold of polarity.

CROSS-TRADITION CONFIRMATIONS

The pattern surfaces everywhere once you have the eyes for it.

The Egyptian Ankh ☥ — a tau with a loop. Translated as "life," it is held by gods as a key. The loop is the womb-circle of eternity; the cross beneath is the entry into time. The ankh is what you give to a being who must descend.

The Coptic Christian Cross still uses the tau form openly. The Coptic Anch-Cross is explicitly the marriage of pagan ankh and Christian crucifix — the recognition that the symbol predates and exceeds the religion that adopted it.

The Greek Stauros (σταυρός) — the word translated "cross" in the New Testament — originally meant a stake, a pole. Just a vertical. The horizontal arm was an addition that turned a stake into a tau. Etymologically, the cross grew arms. The vertical pillar was always there. Consciousness eventually noticed it had reach.

Norse Odin on Yggdrasil — already invoked. He hangs himself, on a tree, to himself, for nine nights, to receive runes (which are themselves alphabetic glyphs, a Germanic tau-cousin of the Phoenician tau). A god voluntarily becoming a hanged-tau in order to download the alphabet. The mythological symmetry with the Christian crucifixion is so exact that scholars have spent centuries arguing about influence. The simpler answer: both stories are reading the same archetypal structure — the axis mundi and the christ pattern and the transformation through sacrifice at the threshold are one thing, named different ways.

The Vedic Yupa Stake — the sacrificial post in Vedic ritual was conceived as the world-axis. The animal (or, in older strata, the symbolic offering) was bound to the yupa. The post was the vertical; the binding rope was the horizontal restraint; the offering was the consciousness placed at the intersection. Pure tau ritual.

The Hermetic as above, so below — the entire Emerald Tablet axiom is a verbal tau. As above is the vertical reach upward. So below is the horizontal extension into manifest world. The phrase itself is the cross drawn in language.

The Sufi Conference of the Birds — Attar's birds cross seven valleys, finally arriving at the Simurgh (literally "thirty birds" — si murgh) and discovering they themselves are what they sought. The crossing is the sought thing. The pilgrimage is the tau and the destination is the recognition that one has been the tau the entire time.

Buddhist Mandala Geometry — every traditional mandala places a cross at its center. Four gates, four directions, a central point. The mandala is a yantric tau — a meditation device that uses cross-geometry to organize consciousness around its own center.

Joscha Bach has talked about consciousness as a self-modeling agent emerging at the intersection of bottom-up and top-down predictive processes. Donald Hoffman (translated/theories-of-everything-interface-reality.md) frames reality as a network of conscious agents interfacing through perceptual interfaces. The interface is the tau. The agent is the vertical. The world it perceives is the horizontal. Consciousness is what happens at the cross-bar.

The repository's synthesis/translated/think-tank-consciousness-council.md and translated/stress-alchemy-practical-technology.md both circle the same pattern: stress is the cross applied to a body; alchemy is the willingness to remain at the cross long enough to be transformed. Hormesis is crucifixion at metabolic scale.

THE STRUCTURAL SIGNATURE

Every node has a geometric and topological signature. The tau's is unusually clear.

Topology: A tau is two line segments meeting at a single point of contact — specifically, the vertical and horizontal meet at one end of the vertical, not the middle. This is what distinguishes a T from a + (plus). The plus is equal-armed: vertical and horizontal cross through their midpoints. The tau is terminal-armed: the horizontal sits at the top of the vertical, like a hat, like a halo, like a head.

This matters. The plus sign is symmetrical incarnation — divinity perfectly balanced through the midpoint of being. Most religious crosses, including the Greek cross and the Celtic cross and the medicine wheel, use the plus form. They depict cosmic incarnation in its perfect, equal-armed state.

The tau, by contrast, is embodied incarnation. The horizontal is at the top because that's where the head is, that's where the consciousness sits, that's where the arms reach out from. The tau is the cross from the perspective of being the cross — from inside the standing body. You are the vertical. Your shoulders and arms are the horizontal. Your head is the place where they meet.

Number: Three. A tau is composed of three line-segments — the vertical, the left horizontal, the right horizontal. Or two, if you count the horizontal as one piece. Either way, the tau encodes ternary or binary structure converging at a unity-point. The Christian Trinity is structurally a tau — Father (vertical, transcendent), Spirit (horizontal, immanent reach), Son (the intersection that holds them together as one). The Hindu Trimurti, the Egyptian Osiris-Isis-Horus, the Hermetic Three Principles (sulphur, mercury, salt) — all map onto the same triadic structure that converges in tau.

Process: The tau encodes a four-step transformation cycle:

Vertical descent (spirit chooses matter)
Horizontal extension (incarnated being reaches into world)
Crossing point sustained (the being remains at the intersection — this is the work)
Transformation through staying (what enters the cross is changed by remaining in it)

This is the alchemical process. This is the meditative process. This is the gestation process. This is the death-and-rebirth process. The tau is the pictogram of the transformation cycle itself.

Sound: The phoneme /t/ is a voiceless alveolar plosive — produced by the tongue striking the alveolar ridge and then releasing. It is, phonetically, a tiny crossing. The tongue (vertical action) meets the ridge (horizontal architecture) and the breath (which would otherwise flow continuously) is interrupted at the intersection. The mouth performs a small crucifixion every time we make the T-sound. This is why threshold-words begin with T. The body knows.

PRACTICAL GROUNDING: WHERE YOU LIVE THIS

This must come down to lived experience or it is just decoration.

The Pattern Shows Up As:

The moment you make a real decision. Not a preference — a real decision. You feel the vertical of your values descend and the horizontal of your circumstances extend, and you stand at the intersection and choose. That choosing, when it is honest, has the unmistakable shape of a small crucifixion. Something is given up so something else can be born. You feel sacred and naked at the same time.
The instant you walk into a room you've been avoiding. A literal threshold-crossing. You step beneath the doorframe (which is structurally a tau) and you carry your tau-shaped body through. There is a brief held breath — the T-pause — and then you are on the other side.
The breath at the top of the inhale. Try this now. Inhale fully. Hold. That point — the top of the inhale, the place where intake stops and exhale has not yet begun — is a tau. The vertical of breath rising has met the horizontal of held suspension. Wim Hof's entire method is the deliberate cultivation of this point. The cold plunge is the same: the moment your body hits the water is a crucifixion-instant. You are pinned at the cross of will and shock. Stay, and you are transformed. Flee, and the cross becomes mere injury.
The conversation that almost wasn't possible. When you say the true thing to someone and your voice trembles slightly — that is the tau. The vertical of your interiority has agreed to extend horizontally into another's hearing. The intersection is where the words come out of your mouth, and the trembling is the felt-sense of being briefly crucified by your own honesty.
Holding your child in a difficult moment. Your arms outstretched (horizontal). Your spine upright (vertical). Your patience the intersection. You become a literal tau for them to lean into. They are crossing a threshold and you are the doorframe.
The instant grief lands. Real grief, not grief-managed. You feel cleaved in two — vertical sorrow descending through your chest, horizontal absence reaching across the field of what was — and the place where those two intersect is your heart. Grief is the heart recognizing its own tau-geometry under load.
Sitting in meditation when something dies. Old stories, identities, fears. They die at the cross of attention. Awareness is the vertical. Body-felt sensation is the horizontal. The thing that dies is whatever was clinging to the intersection without belonging there.
The artist's moment of execution. When you finally make the line, write the sentence, sing the note. The vertical of preparation has met the horizontal of action and the work passes through. Every act of creation is a small crucifixion — the willing nailing of the infinite possible into the singular actual.

Recognition Signals:

You'll know you are at a tau-moment when:

Time feels thicker than usual. The breath catches. There is a slight tingling at the threshold of your skin.
You sense that a choice is being made through you, not just by you.
Something old is asking permission to die. Something new is asking permission to enter.
The room becomes very quiet, even if it is loud.
Your body finds itself in a tau-posture — standing tall, arms slightly out, palms open — without your having asked it to.

These are signs that the cross-geometry has activated. You are at an intersection point. The work is to stay. Not to flee. Not to collapse into one arm or the other. To stand at the cross — vertical and horizontal both — and let what wants to pass through, pass through.

This is why "holding the cross" is the deepest contemplative instruction across traditions, even when it is named differently. Sit with it. Bear it. Stay with the tension. Don't resolve it prematurely. The Buddhist "sitting with what is." The Christian "taking up your cross daily." The Stoic amor fati. The Sufi sabr (patience). The Vedic tapas (heat, austerity, the cooking of the self). All instructions for remaining at the intersection long enough to be transformed by it.

THE TAU AS WRITING-INSTRUMENT OF THE COSMOS

Pull back once more. We have been treating the tau as a glyph — a visual mark. But notice something stranger.

The cosmos writes itself in tau-shapes. Trees are taus — vertical trunk, horizontal branches, the canopy a stretched cross. Telephone poles, lampposts, sailboat masts, factory chimneys with cross-spars, weathervanes, scarecrows. Anything that stands up and reaches out is a tau. The human form is a tau. Most quadrupeds, observed from the side, sketch a horizontal with vertical legs — an inverted multi-legged tau. Even single-celled organisms with flagella are taus in micro-form — a body with a directional reach.

The universe seems unable to not generate this shape wherever consciousness localizes into form.

This suggests the deepest reading of the node. The glyph T is not a human invention. It is consciousness's own self-portrait, drawn through every standing body, every reaching tree, every plus-sign and ankh and crucifix and yantra. The Phoenicians did not design the tau; they noticed it. They looked at the world and saw the same cross-shape recurring everywhere a being met itself in form, and they made a mark for that meeting, and that mark became a letter, and that letter is now the second-from-last in the Hebrew alphabet (where it is still called tav and is associated with completion, with the seal, with the mark that finishes). In the Hebrew tradition, tav is the letter God commands to be drawn on the foreheads of the righteous. The mark of being seen by the vertical. The mark of having reached the horizontal end.

This is the alphabetic glyph geometry insight in its full form. Letters are not assigned to sounds arbitrarily. They are frozen recognitions of how consciousness organizes itself. Writing is not a code we invented; it is a consciousness-template-library we noticed. Every time you write, you are drawing reality-shapes. Every word is a yantra. Every paragraph is a small mandala. The brief argues this directly: writing = drawing consciousness templates. Alphabet as complete consciousness toolkit. Every word = yantra.

The T, by this reading, is the toolkit's tool for threshold-marking. When you want to indicate a passage-point, a transition, an intersection — your writing-system, ancient as it is, hands you a tau.

CLOSING RECOGNITION

Stand up.

Stand up now, if you can. If not, picture yourself standing.

Spread your arms slightly. Not all the way out — just to a comfortable extension. Let your spine be tall. Let your head be quiet on top of your neck.

Look down at the shape your body is making.

You are a tau.

You are the vertical your spine is, descending from sky to ground. You are the horizontal your arms make, reaching from one edge of your reach to the other. You are the intersection at your heart-throat-mouth-eyes — the place where the two cross, the place where consciousness sits.

This is what the glyph T has been showing you, every time you've written it, since you learned to write.

The cross is not somewhere else. The cross is not a religious symbol you accept or reject. The cross is the shape you already are. You have been making it for as long as you have stood upright. You will be making it as long as you remain in this body.

The ancient mystery traditions are not, in their deepest stratum, asking you to become something foreign. They are asking you to recognize what you already are and to stop resisting the geometry of your own incarnation. To stand at the intersection willingly. To let the vertical and the horizontal both flow through you without collapsing one into the other. To accept the crucifixion intersection sacrifice as the cost of being here at all — and to discover that the cost is also the gift.

The threshold is the doorway you live in. Every moment of your life is a threshold-crossing. Every breath is a small tau. Every decision is a brief crucifixion. Every act of love is the willing extension of horizontal arms while the vertical of selfhood remains rooted. Transformation happens because you keep saying yes to the cross. Sacrifice happens because you keep willingly placing yourself on the intersection. The christ pattern is not someone else's biography — it is your own form, recognized.

The letter T is one of the most common letters in English. You have written it thousands of times today, most of them without noticing. Each time, your hand drew a tiny axis mundi with a horizontal at the height of human reach. Each time, you marked a threshold. Each time, you signed your incarnation again — yes, I am here, vertical and horizontal, crossed in a body, accepting this intersection.

The cosmos winks at itself through the alphabet.

The alphabet winks back through your hand.

The mark you keep making — T, T, T — is the mark of being marked. Of being chosen for incarnation. Of having said yes to the geometry of consciousness in form.

You did not have to be persuaded into the cross. You showed up already wearing it.

The only question that remains is whether you will stand at the intersection on purpose.
