Hei Pete (et al)
The general suspiciousness regarding improvisational processes by humans -
or perhaps other organically evolved beings - is that the premise of
improvisation seems to be negated by the eventual formation of a system.
(Am using "system" to echo Peter's description of the development.)
Indeed there is an explicit base system that is applied to improvisation by
whatever the medium chosen for the process to proceed. Of course there are 'new'
variations in use and application, but even those are just previously
un-demonstrated protocols applied by the system.
(it's like the limitations imposed by the body (as hypostasis))...
I rather like the words/ideas: resonance, serendipity, and intuition (along with
the more energetically pure concept of the 'vibe' of a situation of improv and
collaboration... Another words, the improv is the end result of the facilitation
of an open system (by definition an open system is one that is exchanging
energy, information, energized matter with what is exterior to it, to its
surroundings) that is 'occupied' or 'lived in' by the improviser for a time. It
is by nature not sustainable in time (it's transient)...
cheers,
jh
