<p><em>Abstract</em>. Social intensiology is outlined here in its connection to morphogenesis. the latter aims to explain how form come into existence, just as the former seeks to tackle the intensive states of social life. A topological reference model is proposed for conceptualizing how social life operates immanently with saliences and pregnances. The paper starts from the famous Collatz conjecture, and reviews how it has been recently modelled by Danail Valov using braid groups and including thermodynamic irreversibility into the picture. A ‘Valov braid’ can be understood as a manifold, an entity that is, at the same time, individual and collective. Its collective structure can be reconstructed, through its operational logic, as a tensional field. An attempt is made to show how phenomena of memory and measure are intertwined with the braid’s developments, giving rise to a rich present, multi-faceted that lives in non-coincidence. Within such framework, rhythmanalysis is presented as a useful tool for assaying and experimentally improving social life.</p>
<p><em>Keywords</em>: social theory; social modelling; topology; braid groups; rhythmanalysis</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Les gens de goût nous disent aujourd&#8217;hui que Renoir est un grand peintre du XVIIIe siècle. Mais en disant cela ils oublient le Temps et qu&#8217;il en a fallu beaucoup, même en plein XIXe, pour que Renoir fût salué grand artiste. Pour réussir à être ainsi reconnus, le peintre original, l&#8217;artiste original procèdent à la façon des oculistes. Le traitement par leur peinture, par leur prose, n&#8217;est pas toujours agréable. Quand il est terminé, le praticien nous dit : « Maintenant regardez. » Et voici que le monde (qui n&#8217;a pas été créé une fois, mais aussi souvent qu&#8217;un artiste original est survenu) nous apparaît entièrement différent de l&#8217;ancien, mais parfaitement clair. Des femmes passent dans la rue, différentes de celles d&#8217;autrefois, puisque ce sont des Renoir, ces Renoir où nous nous refusions jadis à voir des femmes. Les voitures aussi sont des Renoir, et l&#8217;eau, et le ciel : nous avons envie de nous promener dans la forêt pareille à celle qui le premier jour nous semblait tout excepté une forêt, et par exemple une tapisserie aux nuances nombreuses mais où manquaient justement les nuances propres aux forêts. Tel est l&#8217;univers nouveau et périssable qui vient d&#8217;être créé. Il durera jusqu&#8217;à la prochaine catastrophe géologique que déchaîneront un nouveau peintre ou un nouvel écrivain originaux.”</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">Marcel Proust, <em>A la recherche du temps perdu</em></p>
