Cohesion

Intensive Cohesion:

  • Narrow color spectrum, simple color areas.
  • A gathering of energies, stress on wholeness, centrality of movement, density of events in time (events with depth).
  • Minimalism, restricted inventory of experienced feeling, tightly woven relationships expressing careful and long development.
  • Pays attention to development.

Intensive Discontinuity:

  • Narrow color spectrum but with a multiplicity of color areas.
  • Energies truncated and great use of juncture, economy of events in time (events with little depth).
  • Minimalism but in short units.
  • Restricted inventory of experienced feeling in succession of incidents.
  • Tightly woven relationships emphasizing shortness of affecting units.
  • Sacrifices development.

Extensive Cohesion:

  • Emphasis upon part extending into space, with the continuous emphasized
  • Broad color spectrum with strong simple color areas genetically related.
  • Great range of events in both diachronic and synchronic phenomena.
  • Expanded inventory of experiences developed in continuum.
  • Extended or loose relationships expressing careful and long development.
  • Emphasis on the complexity of the situation with stress upon genetic development.

Extensive Discontinuity:

  • Emphasis upon part extending into space, with genetic relationships sacrificed.
  • Broad color spectrum, multiplicity of small color areas which are discreet and not genetically related.
  • Great range of events in both diachronic and synchronic phenomena but with de-emphasis on genetic order, structural units truncated and multiple, use of stop-time and juncture high.
  • Expanded inventory of experiences developed in succession of incidents.
  • Extended or loose relationships emphasizing short and dispersed units.
  • Emphasis on the complexity of the situation at the expense of genetic development.
