ATLAS OF LANGUAGE

AT-HAR6-0015 · ATLAS 251

Systrophe

Listing many qualities without stating an explicit definition.

Explanation

The centre arises from overlapping descriptions while remaining unnamed.

Example

Restless, open, polyphonic, full of thresholds — the atlas before us.

Counterexample

The atlas is a connected language project.

Effect on thought and perception

Creates knowledge as approach rather than closure.

Resonance

Many descriptive paths orbit an intentionally empty centre.
