Rysn’s chair

[Jasqueen she/her]

Can someone explain to me how aluminum is allowing lateral motion in her chair? I don’t reallly get the whole system behind the chair, the fourth bridge or Kaladin’s Captain America fabrial.
 

The aluminum makes the spren flee to a side... and I don’t understand how that makes the chair move laterally.

So, normally, when you have a conjoined fabrial, the two pieces will move in exactly the same way. When you touch the fabrial with aluminum, you can make the two fabrials ignore certain types of movements.

OK, let me try this out. So she’s on a ruby chair and with normal conjoined Fabrial Mechanics, you move one ruby up, it moves the ruby chair up—but completely stationary. Then you touch it with aluminum and now it’s only vertically connected with the other ruby. You can push the chair around laterally...?

Yep.

The way I understood is is basically that they have aluminum wrapped around the ruby on the horizontal plane. basically, you have an aluminum doughnut with a ruby in the middle. This way, the aluminum prevents the ruby from being synced from the sides but will still sync force from the top and bottom.

Ahhhhh that would make sense
