- Compost, dropping (randomness, contingency) vs mise-en-scene (staging), is the real origin of the 'playful physics' project in architectural design (although it all goes back to Robert Smithson and the idea of the informal). I am convinced that Michael Meredith picked this up while working with Pierre on the small theatre project and then made it part of the composition-noncomposition dichotomy.
- Also note the similarity in the compost-composition dichotomy/duality
- Entanglement (Tim Ingold) or interdependence, the inadequacy of the network/circuit figure to capture the complexity due to its compactness.
- Indeterminacy not only in the 'creative act' (Duchamp, Cage..) but also in the act of exhibiting (or in-hibiting) and perceiving. This is one of Pierre's true innovations, one to be studied, among other things.
- The pink dog in Untilled (the dog's name is "Human") is a marker ("some markers have greater intensity and hold more fictional quality"). "In compost, things are broken down, the dog pattern is also broken in a way by the pink".
- Exhibition as a self-generating ritual, no author but an ensemble of entities. Exhibition as a living entity (materialist animism) - [[simulation]].
- Atlas - a "diagrammatic structure of text and image that works better than linear score or storyboard. Every element has an internal dynamic and the capacity to modify the plasticity of the whole entity.. Operators"
- "I don't want to display something to someone, I want to display someone to something", true post-human project.
- habitats, ecosystems: situated cosmotechnologies (or situated techniques of [[Worldmaking]])
- "After Alife Ahead" has a deep connection to the Fundamental Acts of Superstudio (Life:Supersurface), a project that I also obsessed about in many of my own works, for example https://dmjn.net/19_supersurface.html
- Epigenetics, the passing from genotype to phenotype always includes interpretation or symbolization, which is not something external to material life (this is from Catherine Malabou, via Dorothea von Hantelmann).
