Theory Of Analysis: notes pt. 1



A-nal-y-sis: the separating of any material or abstract entity into its constituent elements. This process as a method of studying the nature of something or determining  its essential features and their relations.


1. Analysis only covers about 10% of the object/text/abstract entity/event. The rest depends on the interpretation of the "analyzer"

2. Analysis is not capable of processing 100% of a given object/text/abstract entity/event. It can't account for the imaginary or the fantastical.

3. Analysis operates on a basic set of rules that governs its methodic architecture as a process of investigation which is its ability and its limitation in relation to object/text/abstract entity/event. In other words, a system that seeks destabilization of an object's structural constitution (or: a system that seeks to understand a given extraneous system and its opposite).

4.All forms are guided and understood by the structure of their systems. The rest are branching paths into the realms of evolutionary possibilities, circumstances, inter-relationships, the imaginary and the fantastical.

5. Think of analysis as a form or method of translation. Its natural that things, concepts, ideas, imagery, etc., gets lost or non-digested as it goes from one form to another Although it is the nature of analysis to initiate structural destabilization, and ultimately its segregation, of a given object/text/abstract entity/event, there will be pieces it can not process or investigate. Those are the pieces that contain the imaginary and the fantastical; where the mind roams and the emotions are stirred and take flight. These pieces are in constant flux and remain beyond the scope of definition.

6. Analysis can't cause erasure (unless interpretation is erasure?).

7. Analysis depends on an object's basic structure and its system, not the "essence" of an object.

8. Erasure happens during categoricalization (this process occurs when we mistake the parts for the whole).

9. Analysis doesn't seek meaning.

10. Meaning is perspectival, completely dependant of one's point-of-view.

11. Understanding is fluxual, very unstable, in constant motion and collision; an evolutionary species of process.
