Trapettism — The Manifesto

Trapettism

A doctrine of correspondence.

Trapettism (also written trapetism) holds that two complete forms can fit exactly, without either one changing and without anything being possessed.

Against halves

The old myth says each of us is a half in search of the other. We do not believe in halves. Two whole forms meet, and their geometry coincides.

I. Wholeness before the encounter

No one is missing anything. Correspondence does not fill a gap. It is recognised.

II. Correspondence, not similarity

Identical forms do not join. Complementary ones do.

III. No force

If pressure is needed, the fit is wrong.

IV. Clearance is not a defect

Two parts move together only if a gap remains between them. Zero distance seizes.

V. Recognition without possession

Correspondence exists before contact, and without it. It takes nothing else apart in order to happen.

Method

An exact fit needs no fastener. Whatever can be removed without the fit falling apart was never part of it.

Not everything that fits must be joined.
