Geometry Records — Volume VI — Time as Density

Opening Statement

Time is not represented by clocks alone. It accumulates as density. Marks layered in one place record duration more accurately than sequence ever could.

I. Duration Without Narrative

Time leaves residue when action repeats. Density replaces chronology.

The drawing does not tell when something happened, only that it happened long enough to matter.

II. Thickness as Evidence

Lines grow darker through return. Overlapping gestures compress time into material weight.

Density becomes proof of attention sustained.

III. Compression and Saturation

At a certain point, the surface resists further mark-making. Saturation signals completion.

Time announces its limit through resistance.

IV. The Illusion of Efficiency

Speed erases evidence. Efficiency leaves no density.

What endures requires slowness.

Process Note

Time is measured by session length, not by outcome.

Closing Note

Density is what time leaves behind.

End of Record.
