22-9-20 Mazuir Rafal: The dao of improvisation

(mentions Henri Bergson "bergsonian intuition/intuitive cognition" & Stockhausen "intuitive music" and Cardew "free improvisation") "You cannot see improvised music through 'what' to play, but ratherthrough 'how' to play." "... free and intuitive improvisation is a kind of action strategy and as manyartists presumed over the centuries, is in fact an exceptionally effective strategy, allowingextraordinary creative actions, results of which can exceed our expectations (or even go farbeyond our ability to understand)." "... it should be considered a way of action, and a way ofaction that is not related to any specific stylistic (this particular feature was called 'non-idiomatic' by Derek Bailey)." "... The changes, related to the processual thinking of the world and to the belief in non – existence ofstatic objects together with the belief in constant movement in the subatomic world.Acceptance (or, at least, not radical rejection) of Bergson’s thesis on the change being thebasis of reality and exploring the experiences of culture, for which Yiqing -The Book ofchanges- is an essential writing, seems just natural in the attempt to formulate a philosophicalstrategy of free improvisation." state of the "transparent mind". weiwuwei action without action ..."When one's wisdom does not think of the right or the wrong (of a question underdiscussion), that shows the suitability of the mind (for the question)."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybernetics Cybernetics::: Cybernetics is applicable when a system being analyzed incorporates a closed signaling loop—originally referred to as a "circular causal" relationship—that is, where action by the system generates some change in its environment and that change is reflected in the system in some manner (feedback) that triggers a system change. Cybernetics is relevant to, for example, mechanical, physical, biological, cognitive, and social systems. The essential goal of the broad field of cybernetics is to understand and define the functions and processes of systems that have goals and that participate in circular, causal chains that move from action to sensing to comparison with desired goal, and again to action. Its focus is how anything (digital, mechanical or biological) processes information, reacts to information, and changes or can be changed to better accomplish the first two tasks.[3] Cybernetics includes the study of feedback, black boxes and derived concepts such as communication and control in living organisms, machines and organizations including self-organization. Feedback is a crucial mechanism of cybernetics!!!!!
