or a mutually beneficial relationship between different people or groups.
I was listening to a podcast about abstract machines. The concept has a sense of collectivism that was interesting. The parts of a machine don’t question their role, they just do it. Maybe a role can be questioning that role?
I believe it was this one
A collective is done by people and existing entities acting as a group.
In doing so, they share experiences, ideas, goals and memories.
Each one starts to move individually,
then the movement takes a unique shape.
The energy spread from one collective can become a strong power able
to change, transform projects and generate innovative ideas and theories.
The collective became more than a momentary experience when single members start unconsciously to think and act as the other members of the group even if they don’t cooperate actively. It then becomes a sort of special connection in which they start to experience the same thoughts, emotions and feelings.
The Micro Collective is a performative collective

Is their memory a collective memory?
our memory is
a collective memory now because of them…
we’re starting
a new memory
Are they reenacting everyday life? as in performing a reenactment?
Or as in imitating?
Or can we see them as a metaphor? Or as an example?
That might be the calling,
imitating each other and trying
to fit in or is the productivity
a result of repeating something enjoyable over and over and over and over.
“The interbodily basis of collective memory is confirmed by the multifarious forms of ritualized and synchronized movements and performances, which contribute to building human culture”.
Concepts are concrete assemblages,
like the configurations of a machine, but the plane is the abstract machine of which these assemblages are the working parts.
