I always wondered b/c this stuff came up a lot in the digital vs analog (discrete vs continuous) discourse, among audiophiles & producers, when I came up in NYC music scenes

It seems like maybe if you have a high enough resolution, a sample rate, then functionally what's the problem, but people do feel they can tell the difference between analog and digital tech, I dunno, this stuff is complicated and not merely a matter of resolution.

But there does seem to be a non-pragmatic, almost philosophical fetish for the idea of the analog, in that it is specifically not the pixelated/binarized digital format.

There's bit depth in addition to sample rate, and just as important.
I'm sure you've heard "lo-fi" 8 bit music, for example.
At any rate, the end result isn't really a "pixelated" waveform when it's converted back to the waveform that comes out your speakers.
One could argue that analog formats are also pixelated considering there are so many molecules per second of sound.

Maybe one could say all frequencies, tones, and pitches are just "pixels" or sounds "beating against" each other, but we don't perceive them as such because they are so fast as to sound like a continuous form.

Critically, the grid creates fungible units out of individuals

Subjective, local, & relational spatial regimes are replaced by objective, global, "allocentric" systems of reference.

This is a tactic of simplification employed by hierarchical & centralized control structures

Any entity or position can be quickly found by reference to its coordinates in a table.

More town layouts. This one's from Gravesend, one of the earliest New York settlements. Classic quasi-cardinal crossroad orientation; nested tiles. The square layout still remains, four centuries later; I've walked it.

Roman military grid:

Christopher Wren's London plan:

Been meaning to read a history of the NYC city grid; one of the tensions I'm interested in is the notion of back-compatibility, interoperability across structural renovation/retrofit. This is a huge theme in programming, from my few years of experience. I've also heard that in e.g. China, the switch over to cashless economy means many in the older generation can't pay for themselves, rely on kids/grandkids.

The modernist finds a stable substrate and re-implements everything in terms of that language, but ultimately fails to get adoption because nothing old interoperates with their promised utopia. (Esperanto)

And also the way that a city's youth can be fairly described as the simultaneous expansion & subdivision of the grid. Not only does the surface area increase, but density increases: a ranch becomes 80 estates; each estate becomes a city block; each address on the block becomes an apartment complex. Suddenly the ranch is a town; suddenly the town becomes a suburb of a larger center.

And some of this can be compared to economic growth as a process of ongoing specialization & integration.
