RhythmContinuity names persistence produced by cadence rather than intact duration. A form continues because actions return with enough regularity to reconstruct it: meetings recur, routes are walked, records are updated, bodies rehearse and institutions repeat their procedures. Each occurrence differs, yet the rhythm makes the sequence recognisable as one continuing formation. The operator shows that continuity may reside less in the object than in the timing of the practices that repeatedly bring it back into existence.
