What's Plank Level?

This is a play on the theory involved in quantum physics, originally discovered by Max Planck. The planck level is a sub-atomic level of matter (the most fundamental layer that we yet comprehend) that is composed of waves of possibility, ever changing and never actually fixed as anything until observed. The nature of this substance, which is the slippery fiber that composes every atom in our universe, hints at what we already know: that each of our own current realities is only but a possibilty, and one that probably differs enormously from the person sitting right next to us.

The other half of my "Plank Level" is akin to this idea, but more of a personal joke (must laugh to avoid pulling a Rain Man). I imagine most of my days in NYC as walking down the pirate's plank, blind-folded, deciding whether to jump over the edge into the sea of screaming eels, let myself be rescued by the handsome "good" pirate, or yank off the damn bandana, unsheath my shiny jewelled sword hidden in the billowing folds of my 18th Century dress (the sword was tucked into and secured by the brocaded princess corset) and slice and dice my tormentors.
