1/2

All these questions of the processes of the becomings of things, concepts, people have brought me into thinking about fractions of the matter. How can this materiality constituted by unified bodies in themselves, be fragmented into pieces, and not becoming autonomous bodies of matter by themselves, but as parts that belong together although aren't, and probably will never be, together as one as we conceive this state of being.

I started thinking of the mathematical procesd of fractioning. I've allways seen each of these strange representations of pieces, such as 1/2, 2/3, 33/48 etc, as parts that should be containned in a whole, or that are desperatly separated from it and wanting to come back to it. I came than to this act of cutting the log into two pieces to reflect on the question of how can a body be as one, or the latency of becoming again what it was as one, and still being separate wholes? Or better: more than being two separate wholes, two latencies of THE one again.
