Discipline

Somacentric Trajectilery

A discipline in which bodily motion is transmitted through a marking instrument to produce irreversible trajectories. Its protocols constrain conscious control and register collision, breakage, and material response as constitutive events.

Somacentric Trajectilery is an active branch of Arteanity concerned with the transmission of bodily motion through a marking instrument. Its procedures constrain conscious control rather than direct the instrument toward a predetermined image. Trajectories develop through movement, pressure, contact, and material resistance.

Artifacts are produced under stated protocols. When trajectories collide, the encounter may result in penetration, sharp retreat, or curved evasion. Breakage, interruption, and substrate response are recorded as constitutive process events rather than treated merely as defects. The protocol remains distinct from any single artifact.

The branch began in May 2026 with Nameless Number One. Its numbered and Numberless artifacts are organized into Corpora and documented alongside their materials, substrates, tools, procedures, evidence, and critical commentary.

but that necessity and convention often conceal it beneath usefulness. Scissors are required to cut, saws to divide, traffic cones to direct movement, and business cards to identify and circulate a person or enterprise. These assigned functions determine how the objects are handled, valued, and perceived.
