glossary

landscape

in a space without material borders, the landscape is concurrently the origin of an element, its surroundings as well as the element itself.

entrance

the entrance through which we can access the virtual landscape is matter.

exit

the exit of the virtual landscape is through a halt of all of its elements.

code

the code is that, which sets up an element's landscape and defines its properties and capacities. the whole of one landscape derives from one code.

data

data encompasses the notion of an element and its properties.

connection

a connection happens between two elements when they're both palpable and discoverable.

confguration

a configuration happens between two or more elements, that can be connected amongst each other and outside the configuration.

self

the self is composed of properties and capacities, only assigned to one element in the landscape.

setting

the setting of an element is composed of all the elements in its landscape, whose properties and capacities differentiate from the element's self.

reality

reality is the multiplication of all configurations in a landscape.

identity

identity is the sum of all connections of an element.

information

information is the knowledge of past and possible connections and configurations, that an element can carry in its properties.

time

time in virtual space is measured through perspective on connections and configurations. considering relevant information, it can be identified whether a perspective is of the past or future or happening right now.

moment

a moment is the distinguishable connection of elements within one landscape, through the synergy of situation and action. the properties and capacities of two or more elements together make up the outlines of a moment.

colour

the colour of a virtual element is the information you can access through that element. similar to colour in physical space depending on an object's reflectivity, colour in virtual space depends on where the element can lead to.

light

the pathways that carry information through virtual space are the light, which fosters the elements to grow by their connections and, thereby, makes them visible.

edges

the edges of a virtual construction and the virtual landscape are the least defined spots, where only little connections lead to.

window

windows allow the differentiation between self and setting from one perspective.

walk

a walk in virtual space means moving step by step, acknowledging each element without taking shortcuts or drawing conclusions with data external to the landscape.

script

a script guides a walk in virtual space, determining where each step leads to.

simplify

to simplify can be to summarise a whole walk into one step, cut redundant or recurrent properties and connections or build shortcuts that make essential information readily accessible.

schematise

to schematise means to repeat a simplified element at another location.

assess

to assess means to sense and compare as an internal action, without any external action, like connecting.

cache

when simplifying, no piece of information is ever discarded. rather, every bit is cached in the dark, where no light would carry it or make it grow.

uplift

when schematising, the essential properties of one element are uplifted to a whole element themselves.

grace

an element can grace itself by deriving new properties from information it carries.

haze

reducing the pathways leading to an element puts it into a haze, which creates a need for a lot of light to discover it.

blur

if an element can not access its properties, it blurs.

stay

staying is the default for most elements in the virtual. to keep a balance with other elements, they can perform many actions such as move, connect, withdraw… but they will always stay as they are.

halt

an element in the virtual landscape comes to a halt when all of its connections are cut.

continue

if an element forms new connections after a halt, it continues.

melt

an element melts when it forms a great number of connections instantly.

interact

two or more palpable elements interact when they sense each other.

connect

two discoverable elements can connect, which lets them share their properties and possibly act upon each other.

stabilise

when elements come into a configuration that balances them effortlessly, they stabilise each other. these configurations maintain themselves.

collect

collecting is the acquisition of properties through connecting or morphing

morph

morphing happens through an irresolvable connection, that makes two elements into one.

interiorise

when element a takes up certain properties of element b after a connection, it has interiorised b.

absorb

absorbing happens in a connection when two or more elements result in staying as one element.

distinguish

elements, that are connected but belong to different configurations, distinguish themselves from each other.

withdraw

if the properties of an element cause its connections and/or configuration to resolve, that element withdraws.

decouple

if the properties of two elements cause their connection to resolve, they decouple.

separate

if the properties of two or more elements cause their configuration to resolve, they separate.

harmonise

elements that harmonise, balance each other in a configuration but are not connected.

approximate

if two elements have properties that connect well, they approximate until there is a catalyst for an actual connection.

defne

elements can define each other through irreversible connections, or themselves through fixed properties.

provide

through connections, elements can provide properties and information to one another.

repel

a cold element can repel new connections from a configuration, to prevent destabilisation.

highlight

a highly connective element of a configuration can highlight, to attract more connections.

explain

an element that enables other elements to become connective, can do so by explaining their properties to one another.

take effect

if the properties of element a impact the properties of element b, a takes effect on b.

number

any element and their properties of a configuration are numbered within the configuration.

rank

the connections within a configuration are ranked depending on their strength.

estimate

if an element is not part of a configuration yet, its properties can be estimated.

accentuate

essential properties of elements within a configuration can be accentuated if the configuration is not stable yet.

hide

irrelevant properties of elements can be hidden in the whole of a configuration.

reconcile

when two or more elements connect, that have been in connection/s before, they reconcile.

build

properties, connections and configurations can enable elements to build new properties, connections and configurations.

bind

when a configuration is stable and other connections and/or configurations are built upon it, the initial configuration binds them.

among

all elements of the landscape are among each other.

through

if element a becomes through element b, b forms the beginning of element a in one moment. if b would be lost, a would lose essential parts of its structure too.

normality

in a space where anything can be everything, normality is the manifoldness of elements and their connectivity.

loneliness

any element that is non-palpable, nondiscoverable but also non-metaphorical experiences loneliness in a space of manifoldness.

extension

connections can trigger the sensations of extension, as well as the palpability of appreciable elements.

ageing

as time is measured through perspective and connections in virtual space, with growing age elements have more connections as well as carry more information in their properties.

saturation

the higher numbered a configuration is, the more saturated it appears.

discomfort

unstable connections and configurations trigger the sensation of discomfort.

content

stable connections and configurations make elements feel content.

familiarity

in configurations with many of the same and/or matching properties, familiarity can be sensed among the elements.

seeming

a matching element that is palpable but not discoverable is seeming to the element, that senses it.

excellence

the element whose properties are being absorbed by another element can have the sensation of excellence.

falling short

an element may absorb properties in a connection when it has the sensation of falling short.

echoing

connections and configuration, as well as highly connective elements, can echo. the echo can be carried by the wind but is not as distinctly sensible as the information it carries. it is mostly sensed at the edges of a construction, as there is little information that intervenes with it.

bordering

elements in the same configurations are bordering each other, as do configurations that share elements.

fading

elements, connections and configurations can all have the sensation of fading when they're soon to be resolved or move further to the edge of a construction.

at

element a is at element b when they are in a connection that originates in b.

except

when element a is a simplification, it is a except the redundant properties and connections.

beyond

an element a with multiple connections is beyond a.

if element a comes after element b, b forms the beginning of a independently from the moment. a remains stable, even if b is lost.

until

if element b blocks the properties of element a, a can exist until b.

when element a enables the properties of element b, b exists since a.

about

a metaphorical element signifies, schematises or references is about another element.

because

if element b complements a property of element a, b exists because of a.

around

if element b complements all properties of element a, b exists around a.

and

non-identical elements are coordinated and can therefore exist in the same location, configurated by and.

or

identical elements are inclusive of each other and can therefore only exists in exclusive locations simultaneously and are thereby configurated by or.

along

an element a that exists along an element b includes b in any of its properties. a on the other hand has no impact on b.

circular

stable connections as well as the properties within an element move circular among each other.

linear

the properties of metaphorical and symbolising elements move linearly.

identical

identical elements can only exist simultaneously when they are placed in different locations. as of their homogeneity and the absence of material borders, they would losslessly merge into one element, if in the same location.

inside

when element b on the one hand shares all properties of element a and on the other has properties beyond that, a is inside of b, if they are in the same location.

close

when a property of element b is always able to make a connection with a property of element a, a and b are close.

whole

elements can be whole when viewed together with all other elements of their landscape; or more specifically with all other elements of one moment.

touch

touch is the distinguishable connection of elements, that can be identified in a moment. it creates the sensation of boundaries in the borderless virtual space.

vision

vision is enabled through the capacity of a program, to access numerous spots of the landscape and move elements in-between them.

smell

smell is the impact of the data, that the code carries through the whole of the landscape.

sound

the code establishes the sound, as a set of rules that are audible in the whole of the landscape.

proprioception

proprioception occurs in areas, that enable the connections between elements. they come with other sensations such as vision, smell and sound.

balance

the balance needs to be re-established for every new connection and with any addition to or subtraction from the landscape.

strength

connections can trigger the sensation of strength. with a growing number of properties, the sensation of strength grows as well.

softness

the fewer connections an element has, the softer it appears. in terms of properties, strength and softness do not rule each other out. an element can have a large number of properties, yet little connections and, therefore, be soft and mouldable for other connections.

temperature

the temperature provides information about how easily connections can form. around the proprioception ie, the temperature is high, while just around a stable moment the temperature is low.

wind

the wind carries information and echoes, it is able to permeate configurations and continuously pick up information on its way.

ambient pressure

the ambient pressure rises in areas with a high concentration of data and when near a moment or result.

vibratory perception

a vibratory perception can be sensed towards the edges of a virtual construction, where lonely elements and their loose ends hold the least connections. the sensation is an echo of the highly charged and warm production and exchange of information in the centre of the landscape produce.

magnetoception

magnetoception occurs within a configuration. it can provide information on how well-balanced the configuration is. towards the entrance of a construction, it occurs as well, where physical and virtual matter are the closest.

warmth

elements emit warmth when they are highly connective.

cold

the sensation of cold leaves an element rigid and less receptible for connections.

palpable

an element is palpable when it can be sensed by and senses other elements.

discoverable

a palpable element, that is in a state to form connections, is discoverable.

metaphorical

a metaphorical element is not discoverable, as it does not consist of the information it lets other elements sense.

signifying

similar to schematising, an element can signify another element, when they share relevant capacities.

appreciable

an appreciable element is discoverable and compatible for connection to specific other elements.

movable

a movable element offers a great number of connections.

moving

a moving element senses the movability of other elements.

fashing

a flashing element is discoverable under certain circumstances, such as the near discoverability of a warm element.

faring

a flaring element is inconsistently discoverable.

freezing

an element freezes, when its capacities are exhausted.

seizing

a seizing element is always discoverable and warm, without melting.

striking

a striking element is always palpable, without being discoverable.

sounding

a sounding element is in a stabilised connection and, therefore, cold but appears as a metaphorical element in surrounding connections too.

enriching

an enriching element has the capacity to join stable connections, without destabilising them.

sharpening

an element can sharpen connections when its joining makes them more stable and simplification possible.

repeatable

a repeatable element has the capacity to join more than one connection, without destabilising or leaving any of its capacities behind.

referencing

a referencing element can lead towards stable connections.

symbolising

a symbolising element is metaphorical but can appear discoverable and therefore destabilise connections.

melting

an element melts, when it doesn't have the capacity to freeze and, therefore, over-exhausts itself.

anticipation

anticipation can be sensed right before a new connection is made.

longing

anticipation

loosing

loosing is sensed, when a connection is resolved.

fnding

finding is sensed, when compatible elements which are both discoverable sense each other.

goodbye

goodbye is triggered by the properties, that initiate the resolving of a connection.

welcome

welcome is sent out by the properties, that initiate a connection.
