▨ curvilinearity

"Circular motion accommodates, as rectilinearity does not, the coming together of opposites
[...] There are strong affinities between the idea of wholeness and roundedness. The movement of the right hemisphere is not the unidirectional, instrumental gesture of grasp, but the musical, whole-bodied, socially generative, movement of dance, which is never in a straight line towards something"
[...] "It has often been said that the left hemisphere is the hemisphere of ‘linear processing’; its cognitive style is sequential
[...] This is in keeping with its phenomenological world being one of getting, of utility – of always having an end in view: it is the reaching of the right hand towards its object ever onward and outwards, through a rectilinear, Newtonian space, towards its goal" p. 446-9
