What Does Matter Remember?

Here's an intimate turn toward embodiment, matter, and the felt grammar of being:


TOPO:
We speak of systems, meanings, structures.
But what of the body?

RHEO:
The body is a system.
But not just a container—it’s a history in motion.

TOPO:
A memory, then?
Encoded not in words, but in tension, posture, pulse?

RHEO:
Yes. The body remembers what the mind forgets.
Not as facts, but as dispositions.

TOPO:
So matter is not mute.
It speaks—just not always in propositions.

RHEO:
It speaks in gesture, in rhythm, in ache.
A semiotics of sensation.

TOPO:
Then to know oneself is not just to interpret thought,
but to listen to flesh.

RHEO:
Exactly.
Meaning is not only in what we say—it’s in how we stand.


RHEO & TOPO:
The body is not after thought.

It is thought—folded into matter, moving in time.
