op gespannen voet:

het weerbericht           de invalshoek
de strakke koord          een kamerplant
het vakgebied              de klare wijn

(elk oponthoud klemrijden)

hou het vlies intact (keurt de uitgelezen wol)
gooi de bruggen plat (vereenvoudigt het besproken kader)

de blik mistig, het geluid hinkend
de boomvrucht ik, achterop:

 

tuimel, val, splijt.

Vinculorum gradus. Art. XI.

Res in universo ita sunt ordinatae, ut in una quadam
coordinatione consistant, ita ut continuo quodam quasi
fluxu ab omnibus progressio fieri possit ad omnia. Horum
vero alia aliis immediate cohaerent, sicut ad naturalem
propagationem eiusdem speciei individua, et in his fami-
liaria sunt vincula cognata et facillima. Alia vero mediis
quibusdam subordinantur, et in his media omnia pertran-
sire oportet et penetrare quodammodo, ut a vinciente in
vincibile vincula protendantur. Itaque numina, per rerum
elargitionem et mediorum quorundam impertibilium favo-
rem, inferiora et infima tandem sibi devinciunt influendo.
Vicissim vero obsecundatione quadam naturali vel ratio-
nali, quodam cultu inferiora tollantur, ut superiora et
eminus posita sibi pro congruo arbitrio revinciant. Utque
variae sunt rerum species eorum atque differentiae, ita
eorum varia sunt tempora, loca, media, via, organa et of-
ficium. Hoc in omni genere vinculorum et vincibilium
perspicere facillimum est et inducere.

[11. The degrees of bonds. Things in the universe are so ordered that they constitute one definite co-ordination in which there can occur a transition from all things in one continuous flow. Some of these things are immediately related to others, for example, the natural propagation of individuals of the same species, and in these cases the bonds are are blodd related, familiar and easy. Other things are interrelated through various intermediaries, and all of these intermediaries must be crossed over and penetrated so that bonds are stretched across from the bonding agent to that wich is bound. Thus, by their generosity to things and by their goodwill in sharing with these intermediaries, spirits influence inferior, and even the lowest, things and bind them to themselves. On the other hand, lower things raised are raised up with a certain reverence through a natural or rational sequence so that, through the free consent of higher things, they can bind to themselves superior things located far above them. And just as there are various species of things and differences between them, they also have various times, places, intermediaries, pathways, instruments and functions. It is very easy to see this and to understand it for all types of bonds and things that can be found.]

Vinculorum tempus et locus. Art. XVII.

Sicut non ubique neque semper, quamvis optima
iaciantur semina, rerum propagatio consequitur, ita ne-
que irretientia vincula perpetuo et ubique, sed apto tem-
pore et subiectorum congrua dispositione virtutem conci-
piunt effectus.

[17. The time and place of bonds . Even though the best seed is sown, the generation of new things does not occur always and everywhere. Likewise, bonds are not effective always and everywhere in capturing an object, but only at the proper time and with the appropiate disposition of the objects.]

[If that vinculum substantiale of monads did not exist, all bodies, together with all of their qualities, would be nothing but well-founded phenomena, like a rainbow or an image in a mirror, in a word, continual dreams perfectly in agreement with one another, and in this alone would consist the reality of those phenomena.] (Leibniz, GP II 435-36/AG 198-99)

"Establishing the disconnection and then attempting to differentiate, however, a philosopher is faced with the omnipresent, complex character of the connection. Its complexity and articulation are dealt with in the second chapter, The Connection. Interpreting early modern anatomical specimens and Baroque curiosities collections, the author focuses upon the representation of the dystopic field of the in-between, with the dangerous connection of undistinguishable, hybrid and monstrous creatures threatening to ultimately disconnect us from the rationality itself. The cultivation of physicality, senses, taste, and excess not only gives rise to modern rationality, but also articulates the modern representation of the field of the in-between - governed by the science of aesthetics of the 18th century. With the connection ceasing to be a matter of metaphysic, its symptoms become visible - as carved deeply into the front of aesthetics, which eventually leads to Leibnitz's philosophy of universal connections and its numerous connotations in contemporary connecting."

dv 04/07/2006, Sony Clié drawing: topological sketch of a 'binding rhytm' reworked in Photoshop. As you can see, it's clearly all in my head, a rather annoying consequence of the incomplete disintegration proces of the hyaloid artery, regressing in the third trimester of my mothers' pregnancy. The summer of 1962 was particularly hot, Marilyn Monroe died, all sorts of things went utterly wrong, so one really can't be putting the blame on anyone...
