Melody making

World-making, through the words of Goodman, is a practice that always relates to how we live our framed reality ("a matter of habit"), and so aspects of it, and try to make our own way constructing different paths in it. And the very paths we build this way, are themselves worlds, coherent with the structure we used to make them emerge (De-Composition, Dis-Ordering, De-letion, De-Formation, or whatever else). And usually, our approach to world-making is seldom an exclusive one, and we find ourselves involved in many layers of world-creations at the same time.

Schizos?

The chances that world-making is a schizophrenic attitude are great. But this is how we (quoting part of Alexis's post) inhabit the world. And the aim is, as viewers as well as makers (and both inhabitants), to re-interpret habit (reality), and broaden our knowledge/identity, physically or mentally using some of its aspects.
And generally avoid atrophy. (because the habit of despair is worse than despair itself)

I think creation, as makers, has to do with a cosmogony, in which all the samples obtained through "w-making", resonate with each other in melody. Which is to say, when we hold those fragmented worlds and find our own position to view/enjoy them, in a glance.
Thus, recognition is the most rewarding aspect in cosmogony. So, if the practice of creating worlds through abstraction, sampling reality, may be a long trip, recognition and revelation are just a glance that completes and shapes identity (both of the work, the maker, and viewer).

Finally, I here echo Alexis's questions (what are the structures that allow us to resonate, through our creation, with the viewers?), and I would say that recognition (man-to-man, man-to-idea, idea-to-idea), is probably what holds that maker-viewer relationship together.

(Doesn't the same gratification comes out when, in a new song, we hear a sample of an older song or soundtrack, or we distinguish a specific sound, even though perfectly inscribed in a brand-new, exciting, awesome melody?)

Speaking of melody...
