  Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2001.03.16
While Walker shows his impressive and sure command of this vast range of ancient material, always in the background is what he deems the rhetorically impoverished poetics of modernity, in which poetry no longer attempts to win converts to controversial positions, but speaks only to an "insider" group of the like-minded.
This and other premises bridge Walker's discussions of the history of rhetoric and of the practice of rhetorical poetics: that rhetoric and poetry were not always differentiated as they are today; that they at the least share a common ancestor; and that "epideictic," whether in prose or in verse, is the true essence of rhetoric.
Walker admits that it is not common to think of lyric poems as attempts at persuasion, but he contends that as "enthymemes" they may be fundamentally persuasive while lacking the appearance of formal argumentation.

 Walker
Thus, if a walker were to be used as a model for manufacturing an actual robot, the robot could only be operated on a hardwood floor or some other low-friction surface, otherwise it would not be able to pull its feet out from under itself.
In the walker world, some of the virtual physical properties such as friction between feet and floor had to be tweaked at the setting-up stage until the environment was of a satisfactory state for this need.
A walker's life can be terminated in two possible ways: (1) it loses its balance and its head hits the floor, or, (2) it fails to reach the food source to satisfy its innate hunger before a prespecified deadline.
