**Rigours, plural - Meta-rigour and choreography**
Pattern language is a design approach to complex lived situations, developed in the 60s and 70s by a group around architect Chris Alexander \[Alexander xxxx]. Alexander’s pattern language engaged the design of urban and interior space, a span from regional planning in-the-large to the detail design of interiors in-the-small; and through to the in-situ construction of buildings.
In each of the four quadrants of the dance of knowing there are choices between structures of feeling - distinct variations in aesthetics around any broad orientation to rigour. These may be more or less liberatory. The hidden curriculum of formacion is very much concerned with these - that is, with liberation (the production of a changed **heart**) as well as 'production'. They are RoPs in §3 the aesthetic landscape.
In each quadrant of 'the dance of knowing' there are different modes of rigour. Literacy involves knowing how to mobilise these, constructing altered labour powers. This is basically what Cook and Brown were pointing to, in their original perspective on 'the dance'.
# Dances in foprop
Dances are common in foprop. They can be seen as indicating struggles, or situations where elements in tension may be reconciled by skilful 'dancing' or weaving of elements.
They have a schema of this kind.
General 'dance' schema
A local example is the dance of knowing.
The generative dance of knowing (Cook & Brown)The hub is a locus for a highly developed kind of rigour, perception and historical-evolutionary insight and capability: choreographing and dancing the making of a living economy. Aka transformative struggle. In each case, it might be seen as a kind of meta-rigour.
At the heart of this meta-rigour is insight into the necessary alteration of relations of production, and ways in which altered relations can be danced and sung into practice, as newly (re-)made forces of production are set in motion, in-here (in care work), here (in subsistence work), in the collective (in formación work) and across the horizon, into the world of the grandchildren, in stewarding work.
