Abstract
We are thus brought to the conclusion that the present is connected to the past by a series of real infinitesimal steps. (Charles S. Peirce, 1892)11 We don’t know about the past, except as we discover it. And we discover it from the now.... There are always ancestral footsteps behind me, pushing me, when I am creating a new dance. (Martha Graham, 1998, p. 70)
