i don't have time right now to find something useful to say about the words themselves, but i wanted to say this is one of the best topics to think about and i'm glad you posted a thing thinking about it
amazing how repetition is both total+universal (everything just the same fundamental particles repeated over and over) and completely impossible/absent (objects not even self-similar across time)
thats a great point. that's part of the difficulty i found in writing about repetition. it was easy to get loose with the definition in my mind and start calling a lot of adjacent/similar things "repetition"... but i think that just goes to show how core of a concept it is. thanks for reading!
i'll be honest, i'm not quite sure if this counts as a manifesto, but i've always been a little bit embarrassed about repetition in the things that I make. i wrote this to dispel that shame
