- infinity nests in the interval Infinity is not extensive but intensive: it nests inside finite systems at genuine rests, intervals where outcomes are structurally undetermined, and eliminating these rests collapses emergence into convergence toward climax.
- the footnote is the erogenous zone Against the depth metaphor, sisuon argues that intensity concentrates at margins — footnote, erogenous zone, citrus rind — because centers harden through function while margins hold what the center excluded, and rest keeps margins from hardening in turn.
- what touch does to the trickster Touch compresses the trickster — the transformative medium between entities — to near-nothing: power transfers instantaneously and reciprocally at the skin interface, making contact structurally identical whether it constitutes intimacy or violence.
- sensation lives in the rest Sensation occurs in the brief interval between signal arrival and cognitive composition — the unclaimed gap before the brain categorizes what it receives. Protecting that gap, like the musical rest, preserves a system's capacity to register what resists its existing categories.
