Introductory Remarks

Life has always been a miracle that escaped our intellectual capacities. If we want to investigate it, then it may be helpful to study its shadows. The movements of form to be presented here are meant to offer such shadows. This book is about moving geometrical forms and how they define each other in ways that may resemble circular relations between processes in living beings. If their organization is characterized by a kind of closure that withdraws it from the inspection by us outsiders, then can we unfold the complexity of this closure?
