was thinking about "tangental.info" = observe reality and adjust (the synonym of TANG = "feature"/harakternaja cherta/osobennost' sounds nice to me as a meaning as well..)

"There are no easy rules. This is a *tangential point*. If you're interested in dropping out of society, you are also likely to reject society's rules, and try to replace them with counterculture rules or rules of your own invention. Humans are map-making animals, and we're always trying to make a map so good that we no longer have to look at the land. This is a mistake, and if you reject the dominant map, it's best to learn to not use any map at all. There is one rule that's very simple, but not easy: observe reality and adjust." more: http://ranprieur.com/essays/dropout.html

as to me, i do feel great sympathy with the position of observing and experi(m)ental adjustments to the "system" with the "feature" towards own identity, fields, ecology(-aesthetics), "new" artistic paradigms and "other" attitude about "otherness"
