Sol hates the motion of various things, both concrete and abstract. He often feels as if he is doing The Man's bidding, if he is the motive force, or conversely, feels as if he is at the whim of The Man, if he is the object in motion against his will. Naturally, he prefers his lowest-energy position as observed when Sol "sits" in The Chairs; the same slack is demonstrated amongst his hip-hop brethren as a show of cultural solidarity.
Sol hates moving also because it reminds him of The Dolly, which is designed to move, and which has caused traumatic moving experiences for Sol. He also tends to hate moving:
- piles of heavy records
- hundreds of websites
- any DNS entry
- himself, in the morning
- his hat, from his head
Ironically, while Sol hates moving so much, he participates in such activites as skating to and from work in the summer, skating while playing hockey, and skating away from the police when caught tagging something (at least in his ever-moving imagination).
