Repetition as System

William Anastasi — Subway Drawings

Repetition follows a governing rule.

Each instance aligns.

System persists.

What governs recurrence?
Repetition is often read as redundancy, yet a rule persists. Each instance aligns without deviation. What continues is system enforced through recurrence.
