Without falling into the courtroom stereotype of finding some single person guilty of some particular moment in time, how can we use the room? Is an idea on trial? Are our trials a search for the truth? The room has 5 physical/symbolic elements:
1. The issue box (otherwise known as the witness stand)
2. The jury box (the quiet observers and soon to be judges)
3. The audience (sideliners-feelers/assessors, but non-participants. Seeing life as if thru a glass-maybe yearning to participate, but unable even if directly involved.
4. The judge (the one with the gavel - she who ushers the moment thru time according to "procedure" so that jurors can later become the judge of a moment.
5. The computer screen, which can bring us back through time and compile and deliver a little universe of evidence.
