Railing Codex

动词，亦表示一种状态。
折叠，被德勒兹所解读，是隐匿的、意向性的和美学的，正对应了其物理性与现象性的特征。
在现实中物理的定义里，通过折叠，事物将具备空间感，或至少在过程中具有空间维度的变化。当一张纸被折叠，它变得可站立与平面上，本来二维的状态变成三维并拥有体积。因此，折叠亦是一种建筑策略。折叠会留下痕迹或“连接处”，其状态存在压力，以及极致的压缩，所以折叠本身是一个复合型的存在方式。延伸到非物质的概念中，可以是观念的折叠，多方想法的浓缩。但想法之间并非毫无根据，相互脱离，反之定会有衔接之处。有意思的是，思想的折叠在于吸取相似但不同、充满多样性的看法，而知识的物质载体之一“书”的构成亦是折叠后的产物。以及，在当下，我们的生活状态亦是被折叠的，现实与虚拟并驾齐驱，在叙事交界之地思考更多。

Fold: verb and noun.
 
In Deleuze’s interpretation, the fold is an aesthetic of concealment and intention.
 
In the physical, real-world definition, a folded object acquires spatiality, or at least it undergoes a change in its spatial coordinates. A folded piece of paper can stand upright on a flat surface: its original two-dimensional state becomes three dimensional, acquiring volume. For this reason, folding is also an architectural strategy. Folding can leave a mark or “site of connection,” and since it entails pressure and extreme compression, folding itself is a compound mode of existence. Extended to the nonphysical realm, we can speak of the folding of concepts or the compression of multilateral ideas. But ideas are not disconnected and groundless; on the contrary, there will necessarily be sites of connection. What’s interesting is that ideological folding entails absorbing diverse opinions that are similar yet different, while books, physical carriers for knowledge, are also the product of folding. At present our lives, too, exist in a folded state, the real and the virtual advancing in parallel, with thinking more abundant at the borders between narratives.
