SITUATIONS OF FORK
FORK: for attempts at access
(including the accessing of illumination)
With a fork ~most definitely with a Limited Fork~ we can, we do Bifurcate.
___________________________________
You have considered situations of fork, properties (plural) and property's (possessive) of fork; multiple and separate bifurcations can occur in a simultaneity that is not confined to a single increment of time for its measure; each tine or prong of a forking system can approach something different, in different planes of existence, locations of different materials and substances, tines of different materials at different times in different locations --some ideas which may be used as models for situations of human populations in various global locations.
(map of Worldwide Internet Usage as of March 2007, from eBiz Tutors.com whose source is: iPligence.com where you can see and study this map & related maps full size).
iPligence also has lists and maps of the number of IP addresses per geographic area, and a comparison of population density with IP addresses.
This is where the XO easily enters again:
(Refer to 28 November post: Kindle and Kindness for details.)
Whether or not members of these human populations share their poams (which include political, social, religious, and cultural policies), there is direct and indirect, circumstantial sharing of the earth itself: the populations are on (a changing or forking) earth.
This is where (one of several wheres) the practice of Internet Filtering can enter: Study: 25 Countries Block Websites
Documentation of Internet Filtering
Reporters Without Borders is dedicated to forking information and here provides a list, as of November 2006, of 13 Internet enemies.
RWB is also the source of the following map of internet black holes, locations of filtered access:
Read about implications of this mapped data at: Strange Maps.
The limited fork functions within the parameters of what is possible for the device (the specific fork used varying according to the situation), those possibilities adapting to what is possible according to the particular iteration of fork in use.
These are quite generalized comments; they are not made in reference to an enhanced or extended or magnified surface or layer or scale of fork dynamic behavior; modifications will be made to account for specifics according to the situational focus of some aspect at some moment in some investigation.
Bifurcations may occur at either end, along tines, along the handle, at any location of the forking system of which an eating utensil fork is only a generalized model.
A generalized static model of a bifurcating system, image by Linda Wright/Science Photo Library. Includes interactions with sub-effervescing(a bifurcating form) system and interactions with light.
No information is given at SPL about the material of the fork, the weight, the length, the design of the handle or even whether or not the handle extends.
Here is a generalized diagram of how a fork eating utensil is made:

**Tine shift: Science Photo Library is a great location for science-related images which may be freely downloaded in their low-res versions as long as the credit is given fully. The fork image used here is an example of SPL's low-res quality.**
My favorite limited forking system, my favorite situation of fork, my favorite fork property is the mouth of the Ganges
as shown in this NASA satellite photo of southwest Bangladesh shows where the mouth of the Ganges River meets the Bay of Bengal (as featured on the Georgia tech research News site):
A model of the Ganges bifurcating system is available for purchase from Hidden Art Shop.

The Ganges Delta Cube is based on an aerial photograph. The delta could be seen as a huge evolving drawing made by nature. It is long lasting, in contrast to the transient qualities of lightning.
