Term:
Firstly, Language is not. But it is provisional. When it is not provisional, then it becomes an entrainment.
Entrainment exists in nature in a variety of forms. Geese migration patterns being a common example.
Found:
A physics phenomenon of resonance, first observed in the 17th century, has an effect on all of us. Entrainment is
defined as the tendency for two oscillating bodies to lock into phase so that they vibrate in harmony. It is also
defined as a synchronization of two or more rhythmic cycles. The principle of entrainment is universal, appearing in
chemistry, pharmacology, biology, medicine, psychology, sociology, astronomy, architecture and more. The classic example
shows individual pulsing heart muscle cells. When they are brought close together, they begin pulsing in synchrony.
Another example of the entrainment effect is women who live in the same household often find that their menstrual cycles
will coincide.
Literature:
The word is a kind of propaganda of entrainment. Narrative is like a columnar focusing stream which sets the limits
and the boundaries. "Here, just follow the dotted lines." In a lot of situations there aren't any need for dotted lines,
and the dotted line has become a tyranny. A tyranny of the banal. A tyranny of the forms of discourse. A tyranny
of genre. All these tyrannies add up to filtering out the natural creativity of the human mind, because instead of
a culture of creation, we have created a culture of protocols. Even within Democracy, there exists a fascism
of the protocol. Some people have been able to tweak the existent contexts so as create a space where they can
redefine the protocols to suit their purposes, while the rest of us must suffer with the gag and reflex of entrainment's
organic embodiment. Nobody in the world is concerned with this. What they are after is a way to use their own
understanding of protocol as 'right behavior' and proper protocol to gain the things they desire. Nobody questions
this at all. Even in art. Art can only succeed unless it can be encoded into a language which makes sense of standard
entrainment faculties, hence "The Artist's Statement" which gives the poor protocol victim some cookie to cling to
in the oblivion of the productions of the individual mind, which is, as hard as it to realize, something like its own
universe,
unless it has become nothing more than a protocol policeman which many minds are.
Even this text is merely an example of a certain specie of entrainment. It is a fiction. Do you believe in fiction?
Reality is a fiction because it uses the dotted lines of existing protocols to navigate its domain.
Diogenes points to a new type of animal.
The homeless also point to this in an abject way.
There are other ways for us to live.
Our total social universe is quite arbitrary.
At the root of all the great conferences on social theory, this is essentially the message.
How come everybody locks themselves away?
Because horror is just around the corner. Its not pleasant to discover this.
Just kidding. It's not really like that at all.
