I am currently exploring a reading giving to me by a professor titled, "MA Space-Time in Japan" which is a correlation of exhibitions by Arata Isozaki. After the discussion a week ago on the potential to this theory of programming defined as the 'Generational Archive for Living', i have began to consider how one might be able to assimilate the various other typological programs within this condition of existential archiving. As discussed the resolution or adaptation of the archives functional requirements to begin to break from social, cultural economic and political constraints; is in direct response to the 'free-space' of existential living conditions required by the premise of the class as noted in my text 'Perceptional Programming'. However i was finding myself playing with ambiguous linguistics and unable to notational speak of these adaptations, i found the Western culture of architectural propaganda is to strictured to allow for such fluid dialectics required by modern man and the individualized perception of Syneasthesia. However the discussion of the Japanese concept of Space-Time in this pamphlet MA, is proving to be the comparative cognitive thought process that may be able to begin to restructure the Generational Archive. Issues of MA as various typologies (spatially, culturally and theoretically) are in tension with Western theories and through a notational process of interjected these conditions into a fabric purely conceived by western theory i may be able to bridge between these variations into a single notational domain that can produce a strong dialectic as to construct a thesis on.

I am sorry alot of the text explaining the notational qualities and how i have agone through a morphology of Japanese conditions of MA as to createw a condition for my program to root itself did not show well on the image. I will go through a breif explination of the variations of MA and how these typologies of 'space-between' can actually further enrish to space be constructed for the Generational Archive. First MA as understood in its symbolic linguistics is constrcuted from the words "air" and "between" there fore space is actually a condition of space between. That and the issue that absolute time does not exist therefor, time and space exist simultaneously and are never detached conditions but rather one fluid dynamic know as MA 'Space-Time'. The premise is to take spatial typologies derived from this idea of space as the space between as a fluid condition of time and impose them into an urban fabric, this juxtoposition will forced the carious spatial moments to actually introvert themselves, they can not exist within an urban fabric for the urban fabric is an entity derived from an entirely different mode of thought. However it is this introversion as Generational Archive which will allow for the internal dialectic required from this programatic epicenter.
The drawing composes three conditions of spatial typologies within MA morphed together to create the notational quality of the Generational Archive;
1: Himorogi; Activity of 'Tama' (Soul) within a moro, 'Mori' (Forest)
A: The site is marked by Kekkai the 4 posts marking the sacred precint. It is within the 'sacreed precint' of the site that the forest of souls our generational archive will root themselves.
2: Hashi; Means both edge and bridge, in ancient times signified a ladder.
B: The Bridge is built from earth to the realm of the divine. At the center where the Sekaki (Sacred Tree) of the Himorogi would be is imposed the Shin-no-mi-hashira wich is a pole at the heart of the shrine.
C: This 'Edge" condition of breaking a threshold in moving from earth to a shrine is the passage from site, into the archive for those sacred beings of generations.
3: Yami; Yo the root of the word yami, means nether world or night. From yami was generated the verb yamu (to cease).
D: This typology contained within the 'Heart of the Shrine' also requires a bridge or passage through a threshold. This however exists at a smaller scale where the individual beiing would transgress into their personal Butai (Stage with decorated mirror). It is within this space that the self reflection and expression of the generational being is left to archive their own existense.
It is within this moment of archiving their own existence that the Generational Archive can become the 'Existential Labarynth to Living', the "Cultural Epicenter" or the "Institutionalized Academia Epicenter" all within the "Tectonic Infrastructure" of a site
This slow scalar morphology of spatial typologies of MA as juxtaposed with the adaptative requirements of the Generational Archive occur within a western inspired Urban Fabric. I am continuing to resolv the movement into smaller scales and how the space can actually be 'constrcuted' by the existential acts of the archives inhabitants. The issue of site and conditions of subterranean as a mode of archival were conditions discussed in the text i handed to you. Also there was a text i produced a year ago "Inherent Projection", which may help validate some of the hybrided linguistical terms used in the writing i gave you, ask if you would be interested in reading the conceptual issues related to a 'heterarchy of existential living conditions'. Inherent projection also further resolves the issue of subterranean earth and the existential process of resonated ones adaption of their living space into the mass of the earth. Ultimately the Generational Archive must fluctuate along a datum of the urban fabric and the datum of each individual spaces. The inhabitants are at the edge of a breakdown (Death) their last acts will be those of archiving this edge into demise, to some extent the generational archive is a condtion of existenetial inhabitants 'digging their own grave' at the edge of their demise as to be a part of an epicenter never conceived by the western world.
Alot of these things are loaded, i would ratehr discuss alot of these terms face to face as we may be able to more freely move through the various components and begin to understand the compiled dialectic of these conditions.
