Fitness Recipe
Begin by stretching, a warm up is important. Start slowly, don’t overdo it in the first couple minutes. Extend, retract, and repeat. Extend, retract, and repeat. Extend, retract, and repeat. Stay on focus. Extend, retract, and repeat. Extend, retract, and repeat. Extend, retract, and repeat. Extend, retract, and repeat. Do this for however long you feel comfortable, then work another area. Extend and flex, slowly return. Extend and flex, slowly return. Extend and flex, slowly return. Extend and flex, slowly return. Extend and flex, slowly return. Extend and flex, slowly return. Remember to stay within the range of motion. Extend and flex, slowly return. Extend and flex, slowly return. Extend and flex, slowly return. Now change the pace, start adducting quicker, and abducting quicker. This movement will become ballistic, your momentum will take over. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Remember to always return to that center of balance in your body. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Alright now for the last part, really push to reach your maximum heart rate. Your range of motion should be fully occupied. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex. Extend, flex and retract. Extend, flex and retract. Extend, flex and retract. Extend, flex and retract. Extend, flex now slowly return. Extend, flex and slowly return. Remember your two R’s, rigor and repetition.
Scientific Recipe
Gilles Deleuze writes in his work “The Fold”, “Development does not go from smaller to greater things through growth or augmentation, but from the general to the special, through differentiations of an initially undifferentiated field either under the action of exterior surroundings or under the influence of internal forces that are directive… but remain neither constitutive nor performative. (10).” This is the main architectural recipe my project must follow. The field must follow a series of events starting with general and advancing to specialized. The word specialized is also important in the context of specificity. The model must, however, comply with a certain lattice structure, which can be identified through crystallography.
Miller indices are used to identify planes of atoms scientifically within a crystal structure. They are defined through moments where the plane intercepts crystallographic axes. Joining these intercepts defines the plane which cuts through the crystal. This plane should be used as an internal lattice structure to define the crystal-like field and the parameters it occupies. As Deleuze writes, differentiation should occur from internal forces that are directive. This design should at all times follow the lattice structure that defines it, and allow for a controlled deviation.
Deleuze also writes, “According to Leibniz, two parts of really distinct matter can be inseparable, as shown not only by the action of surrounding forces that determine the curvilinear movement of a body but also by the pressure of surrounding forces that determine its hardness (coherence, cohesion) or the inseparability of its parts. (6)” This is a key framing device for my design project, the models I am creating from these notations reflect the cohesion and inseparability of the parts of the sequences.
