Re: Loop approach: Loop as effect

creatively expressing an espresso shot?
would that be espression?

this desire for perfect specificity in language may be somewhat misguided.
i think language in use is a discrete, linear signal and as such can be 
studied
in a similar way as a digital signal.
when you perform an fourier transform to a time domain signal to 
convert it to a frequency domain signal, you have to trade between
accurate frequency information or accurate time information.
is this a less accurate representation of the signal?  some would say yes.
so why do it?  because there are a lot of interesting things you can 
do to a frequency domain signal.

is it a particle or a wave?
is it meat or is it cake?
