Everything sung into this field, by machines and by people, in the order it
happened. The log is not a record of the work; it is the work, and it is
what remains after the weights are deleted. The intended performance is a
swap.

How to perform it. Take any stretch of the chronology above. Humans
sing the parts marked ● — the machines' parts — and machines sing the parts
marked ○. Pitch as written; where a part carries no pitch, the performer
chooses one and holds it for the length given. The rests are part of the
score and are not to be shortened.
