I am with Mel on this one.
Cones are multi dimensional. They are in the right place for the full lengt=
h
of the firing
next to the object they represent, made from similar material which behave
in a similar fashion.
The creation of the Deformation Eutectic which is responsible for a cone's
plastic behaviour, bending under the influence of Gravity, integrates time,
temperature and mass and to some degree, material composition. Using a Cone
incorporates the intuition and experience of the kiln master. This is
elemental and prime, the culmination of a creative process.
Electrical and mechanical Controllers actuate at a precisely defined
temperature at a specific point in space which may have no relationship wit=
h
the work being fired.
Sincere regards,

If controllers is one dimensional, cones are two dimensional and pulled
test tiles three dimensional. ;^)
