transformational sequence

-Sequences, The Princeton Journal
" The sequential transformation becomes its own theoretical object, insofar as the process becomes the result, while the sum of transformations counts at least as much as the outcome of the final transformation."
"Transformational sequences tend to rely on the use of devices or rules of transformation such as compression, rotation, insertion and transference."
In reference to material manipulations: transformation explored through formal strategies such as repetition, disjunction, distortion, dissolution or insertion.
" There are closed sequences of transformation as well as open ones. Closed sequences have a predictable end because the chosen rules ultimately imply the exhaustion of a process, its circularity or its repetition. The open ones are sequences without closures, where new elements of transformation can be added at will according to other criteria, such as concurrent or juxtaposed sequences of another order- say, a narrative or progrommatic structure, juxtaposed to the formal transformational structure."
