Planet of the Dolls - Valley of the Apes

Through play the child explores materials. Any of the games can be developed in to ways to measure or negotiate reality. Which ones we choose may be a matter of chance. Mathematics provides a system to understand that which is beyond comprehension. We may explore over 20 dimensions with maths but only 4 with our selves. Language helps us too. The word horse is a sign, not a real horse.
In the short story Planet of the Dolls, by using dolls, I suggest a way we may explore possibilities through dolls. As a child can project their consciousness in to the body of a doll so too may we. In Dollism, the council estate cult, one of many cults, the doll is no mere effigy, no false idol but a true host body.
