"Science fiction represents the modern heresy and the cutting edge of speculative imagination as it grapples with Mysterious Time---linear or non-linear time."
- Frank Herbert

Vai-Chi  
  Tai-Chi movements translated into the virtual world  

The light in the Berkley dojo was an even off-white.

The students were finishing off their vai-chi exercises, their movements graceful and fluid despite the encumbrance of their goggles and the V-bands on their arms. Master Yang monitored each student individually.

...In virtual time, it was approaching the year of the tiger. They were in Shanghai in the year 1932, in the last years of the legendary Tai-Chi Master Yang Cheng-fu's life. No greater teacher ever lived.
