The notion of hyperobjects stays with me ...Hi Tim,<br /><br />The notion of hyperobjects stays with me like a kind of silver glinting. I just can't quite figure out what isn't a hyperobject. "If it's not just me who counts it as one" is not a bad working definition. But I'm hard put to know if there is anything that ONLY I count as one. How to find out except to ask, and so end up with a hyperobject for sure? <br /><br />Sorry if you have explained thisendlessly elsewhere.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16303934903607539683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438289051411770399.post-72568404447129081632011-02-22T13:50:24.571-06:002011-02-22T13:50:24.571-06:00brilliant Tim. I completely get what you are after...brilliant Tim. I completely get what you are after here, i only wonder if we really need to make the leap from "sampling" (partial encounter) to <i>total</i> "withdrawal"? <br /><br />It doesn't follow, for me, that just because we can only ever have a partial or sampled encounter with other objects that these encounters are indirect. Likewise with any object: just because a baseball only contacts a small fraction of the bat doesn't mean that such an event is buffered. <br /><br />Bat properties and ball properties collide on a material level in such a way that results in home runs happening (or in my case fly balls easily caught by the short stop). AND then only in the context of (relation to) atmospheres, persons swinging, baseball teams, etc.<br /><br />I agree that objects withdraw, but, from what I can tell, they only do so partially. <br /><br />The exploded view, for me, takes all those partial samples and constructs a mosaic of views that reveal more and more (depending on the rigor) of that object/assemblage/situation than would be possible from a less exploded, more partial view.Michael-https://www.blogger.com/profile/17137291506357159071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438289051411770399.post-75836939312180304632011-02-22T13:21:17.979-06:002011-02-22T13:21:17.979-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michael-https://www.blogger.com/profile/17137291506357159071noreply@blogger.com
