This is just a quick re-cap really regarding some ideas at the “core” of rhythmic based ontology we seem to evolve here..
These are roughly based on the texts we presented in Performance Philosophy conference:
Hilans’ – http://anarchai.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/rhythm-oriented-ontology-in-guilford.html
and
aharons’ – http://aharonic.net/blog/performance-philosophy-paper-cross-questioning-unknowns-with-knowing-nots/
Crossings
Rhythms as elements that cross eachothers’ paths of spacetime.
Trans
Rhythms as elements that require to go beyond the predefined and static. So in a way, to be from the view of a rhythm is to live in and in-between. In that sense rhythms are wholistic.
There is also the trans of movement, of transition and transiency – both in terms of facilitation and movement in itself.
Collapsing
Rhythms live between collapsed elements. In a sense, again, from the point of being a rhythm, you are so long as you are in a process of collapsing. The collaps-ability is the stuff you really know that will happen, and that will make you a rhythm. No collapsing – no rhythm, and viceversa. Again, this is a sort of wholistic idea because it embraces all possibilities without being a negative or positive, sort of meta binary via being neutral.. Via just Being..?
Colliding
Elements of rhythms have to do some colliding. Collision, is perhaps a more physical crossing. Collision has a BANG in it. An explosion. Perhaps the crossing is the silent paths and collision is the meet-up?
Folding
Every rhythm has to fold. I think this might be another way to say Collapse, or that Folding might be a linked or related kind of process. Perhaps more temporal than collapse. In the sense that a collapse is the utter end of a rhythmic sequence and folding is a process that both makes the rhythmic sequence in time, and slowly builds up into the collapse. Like the small wave particles within a wave that is in itself a particle on way to collapse on the beach after a surfer had a go at it..
