loop clusters

This is just a quick list of points related to the notion of loop clusters. I think primarily my interest in examining acoustic phenomena is this notion, which certainly has its correlates in other fields, such as the notion of semantic constellations forwarded by Susan Hardy in her book Networks of Meaning. I need to expand on this greatly but these notes are a start. So in short, loop clusters should:

express both acoustic objects and events

form the nodes of the loop network - the nodes are therefore defined by the interactions or relations between components, themselves defined by interactions of other components.

recognise a distinction between oprganisational and strucural loops, in keeping with the previous distinction. for example, feedback might be considered more organisational, whilst quantized time could be considered structural with organisaitonal consequences.

form from the background of loop networks at concentrations of intersections between multiple modes or repetition.

enable convergence of micro/meso/macro temporal domains and micro/meso/macro spatial domains allowing for association across a spatio-temporal continuum.

be expressible technically within the confines of the loop network system design.
