Perhaps it is time to "reset" the process for a next iteration of a disposition. Even though we could not agree yet on it, I think there are some elements which came up again and again, and thereby gained a tentative stability; among them I guess is 'rewriting', which I see now has performed a re-entry in the research process itself (see sketch to the right). I would like to think about the figure of "parallel writing" or "simultaneous writing". Perhaps the term "segmentary" is more obtrusive than helpful now. I guess what was important about it for me was the "without hierarchy, next to each other, but also like-minded or equal-in-difference", part of a whole that is not the sum of the parts.
I want to bring in a quote from Sara Ahmed that has occupied me for a while:
«At least two entities have to arrive to create an encounter, a “bringing forth” in the sense of an occupation ... To “co-incide” suggests how different things happen at the same moment, a happening that bring things near to other things, whereby the nearness shapes the shape of each thing. Simultaneous arrivals ... are determined, at least in a certain way, as a determination that might determine what gets near, even if it does not decide what happens once we are near. If being near to this or that object is not a matter of chance, what happens in the “now” of this nearness remains open, in the sense that we don’t always know things affect each other, or how we will be affected by things ...» (S. Ahmed 2006¸ Queer Phenomenology, p. 39)

An early thought was that we explore the surplus or excess of algorithmic agency, manifesting itself as an indviduation and differentiation in the process of experimentation and implementation, by departing from the same initial configuration or "(basic) algorithm". This is illustrated in the sketch to the left; so we depart from the same disposition, and come to four somehow "aligned" / "coherent" / "similar" but individual systems or machines, which then begin to grow and refine the compositional process, and there is an element of horizontal communication that ensures that a level of coherence is maintained throughout.

Perhaps the first disposition was simply the catalyser to get the process started. Let the new disposition be, to engage in simultaneous arrivals, that eventually constitute the "site" of our work.

Not a cadavre exquis, a dead body, but a living organism, imperfect and imprecise. Reversal; do not begin the work with its result, a particular algorithmic-technical proposal; begin with the conceptual / material parallel work.
Parallel steps: Formulate a number of questions that seem important to you. Hand these questions to the custody of the other three artists, and receive three sets of questions from the other artists. Use them as questions guiding your conceptual and/or material work. Let the others see/hear how these questions develop. Let this be an open-ended process with the prospect to another iteration in which we connect the process again. Embrace the simultaneous work, each at their own rhythm, but forming a common site (an interlocking rhythm).

from the questions you receive, incorporate at least one from each set into your work process.

- Here again I am trying to understand the importance of 'coherent/similar/aligned.'
- I had found it hard to understand the meaning and practice of the simultaneous writing until I discover the parallel steps! :I think they are quite inviting, more open to each individual's direction/interpretation to the questions given.

We need to be careful about the process, as it can tend to be dominated by the territoriality of me and David (which also comes from the fact that we "run" ALMAT); that something remains "invalid" as long as it does not carry their respective handwriting (as overwriting). How to distance ourselves from ourselves? Territoriality can "work", as it did in Imperfect Reconstruction, even under tension. To comment (to notate next to somebody else's notes) is a form of being careful - I hope; especially if the meta-system is re-writing. Careful also is balance, and we need to encourage all four voices to be heard.
