As we tend to absolute plasticity, we also tend to absolute figuration; the asymptote stretches on forever, as absolute representation is, simply, the real. More figuration implies less rhythm, more stasis; and thus, it leads to death, to the sun of Apollo.pic.twitter.com/VlvTpEvI3J

Music is not the closest copy of will; the truth is, art & the universe are two similar creations of will representing itself, in the rhythmic sea becoming & the static sun of Apollo.
