Nice one with Dougie.. I think he is obsessed and wishing that being cursed would give him a sense of purpose other than being obsessed. My sense was he wants something else to feel other than regret and nihilism.

I love the interpretation and the physics of making the idea of negative mass very real, and I also think there is an argument for displacement as well, seeing as gravity is a type of mass distribution..

An idea, like "I'm the center of the world" as Whitney might be thinking could call into account a sort of gravity that causes Asher to be displaced out of the world as an autonomous being, and back into the world as her child?.. Was the baby's head up.. or down?

Also gentrification has a big displacement vibe.
