Procedure

We four step into the meeting room for the second time ever. It is the same room where we met a week ago. There is a large circular wooden table at the centre. Four armchairs are uniformly distributed along the permiter of the table, as if to signal its cardinal points. The chairs are all alike, same size, same colour, same shape, same newish look, each the same standard functional office furniture article, even the same purple dots evenly patterned on the crispy red upholstery. There are no indications as to where to sit, no roles assigned beforehand. We four can freely specify which chair to choose, they are all equally selectable. So many degrees of freedom are only constrained by memory and instinct. Promptly we are all seated according to the very same distribution randomness favoured a week ago.
