OF NAUGHTS AND KNOTS: On Transgression and Entanglement

Between naughts and knots there is some sort of rhythmic pulsation. Naughty is the transgression out, doing what you are not supposed to be doing, as if you could move directly back to what you should. Knotty is the singular entanglement that requires an indirect movement (reversal or transversal) to undo but also to make more inclusive. So there is diastole (naughty – exceptions) and systole (knotty – singularities). Transdisciplinarity makes you see that the disciplines are themselves each replete with exceptions and singularities.
