So even in the most reductive senses, we need to get out of the habit of thinking about engineering  and composing time-based media as functions of one scalar parameter, nominally labelled “time.”  (For an example of a waste of time, see this graphic animation of Ligeti’s Artikulation.)

But still in materially and machinically* reproducible way.

As Deleuze and Guattari observed, machinic ≠ mechanical .
