Do read Reza on unbinding and complicity (and bear in mind that “nested interiorities”, e.g. containment hierarchies, are very close to some of the topological notions I’ve been discussing here recently).

I have it in mind to do some posts on the mathematics of decay, contagion, convolution and so on; the point would be to prove that rigorous systematicity is entirely compatible with the development of these topics, and can even push them beyond our “spontaneous” conceptions of them in interesting and possibly counter-intuitive ways. What’s more, there are demonstrable sonic and visual correlates to some of the operations I’d want to talk about, which might help to persuade people that there was some effective, material etc. dimension to the otherwise rather abstract entities under discussion.
