Abstract
The flyer-series (dataset 1HEX) departs from the existence of mathematics in literary prose—for public exposés—in the Romantic era. And from here pursues the gross-fertilisation of group-theory in art and science. Featuring the idea of disordered systems (that comes from structural geology) and the keeping of logbooks in field studies. The flyer-set uses the same knowledge basis as Rosalind Krauss in the essay Sculpture in the Expanded Field, i.a. an article on structure in mathematics by Marc Barbut in Les Temps Modernes. The argument is merological: i.e., how we can study part-whole relations in terms of restricted, principal and expanded sets.
