Transgression (géol.) : the spread of the sea over land areas.

Reason has long belonged to Terra Firma. As for unreason, it has been aquatic from the depths of time. Madness is the flowing liquid exterior of rocky reason.

It is no longer the island that is separated from the continent, it is humans who find themselves separated from the world when on an island. It is no longer the island that is created from the bowels of the earth through the liquid depths, it is humans who create the world anew from the island and on the waters.

Sin(1/x) is a city where ground level is constantly redefined, foundations remodelled. This variability is created by the oscillation of water level, sprawling and flooding the different archipelagos, forming the city through this process. This condition rules economical and social hierarchy between citizens. Secluded on their island, water frees and connects them, reaching equality. People gather on the acropolis, dry surface, finally able to connect with each other.

Art. 1 The city’s calendar is based on tides. The highest tides are a holiday.

Art. 2 Water surface is always public.

Art. 3 Private property becomes irrelevant, when flooded.

Art. 4 Upper levels host lower levels, when flooded.

Art. 5 The acropolis is a sacred place.

Art. 6 Each citizen receives an inflatable buoy.

Transgression (n.) :

late 14th c. from Old French transgression "transgression," particularly that relating to Adam and the Fall, from Latin transgressionem "a transgression of the law," or "a going over, a going across," from transgressus, past part. of transgredi "step across, step over; climb over, pass, go beyond," composed of trans- "across, beyond" + gradi (past part. gressus) "to walk, go".

Where there is no law, there is no transgression.

limit (n.)

c. 1400, “boundary, frontier,” from Old French limite “a boundary,” from Latin limitem (nominative limes) “a boundary, limit, border, embankment between fields,” which is probably related to limen “threshold,” and possibly from the base of limus “transverse, oblique,” which is of uncertain origin. Originally of territory; general sense from early 15c. Colloquial sense of “the very extreme, the greatest degree imaginable” is from 1904.

The Dionysian [...] is the freeing of unmeasured instinct, the breaking loose of the unbridled dynamis of the animal and the divine nature.

Limit (math.) : Value which a quantity can approach without ever reaching it.

Every beginning is a return, but the return already implies a difference, it is not a return to the same (origin) but a journey (becoming).
