Procedurals

The two of us have in common an unreflective love of long, slightly varied series. I don't know if it's a function of our culture, or of organized capital, of consequent formal lines of product, and so, and so--but we both find that what we really crave is not a continuing development across dimensions, a great and varied work, but a single finite line of production. Its various products represent a formal approach applied to a series of objects or sites, themselves relatable along a pre-existing thread (even if tenuous).

It is a great thing to come across a new or unknown component in a common series. But the happiest times we can remember have come with discovering some new series, up until then wholly occluded from us--strange compounds parceling out physics, biology, and
geometry, in terms that urgently announce themselves to any desiring body.
