An ingenue's ruminations on breath




Something drives me to a position of being an ingenue.

A lot of poets talk about the "breath" in poetry. Perhaps it comes from Homeric verse as the Ancient greek language relied specifically on breath to differentiate omicron from omega for example. Breath made distinction, clarity.

What breath though do you have when your talking about poetry as distinct from poeticising?

Perhaps talk of breath is a reified of the already given, the apriori or the embedded. Talk of breath, the representation of breath, the mimesis of breath - I still need the same process of breath to discuss the mimesis of breath or it's the same object (of the process of) breath.

Breath is embedded and immersion. The embedded is non-mimetic classically. If we have a holographic, hologram, concept of the universe then embeddedness may be inherently mimetic and there is no outside of mimesis. *It's all mimesis!* A melange of Plato and the Heraclitean maxim 'it all flows'. Mimesis though required the originary to copy from but this notion of mimesis doesn't. Universalised mimesis, a type of hologrammatology perhaps. It's very photocopy worthy. No originary point, no zero point field, no singularity as pure object sans process, no big bang qua linear chronological beginning of universe - this is what physics envisions and discusses as well in its pedagogy. It wasn't a point, classically in physics it's a "quantum of uncertain intensity" - never a point geometrically.

The holographic universe, like all quantum, is a model that works but doesn't necessarily take in other quantum theories, or take them in easily and without fudging figures.

talking of breath without logos can lead to this outlandish framing of holographic breath. Or maybe that's the reality of it - talking of breath whilst breathing and the very act of observation and recording affects the event. the classical early quantum experiments. Ingenue - someone who naively finds something beautiful.
