	Additive rhythm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In music, additive rhythms are larger periods of time constructed from sequences of smaller rhythmic units added to the end of the previous unit.
		This is contrasted with divisive rhythms, in which a larger period of time is divided into smaller rhythmic units.
		The relationship between additive and divisive rhythms is complex, and the terms are often used in imprecise ways.

		"Rhythm involves patterns of duration that are phenomenally present in the music" with duration perceived by interonset interval (London 2004, p.4).
		Syncopated rhythms are rhythms that accent parts of the beat not already stressed by counting.
		This use may be explained by a comment of John Cage's where he notes that regular rhythms cause sounds to be heard as a group rather than individually; the irregular rhythms highlight the rapidly changing pitch relationships that would otherwise be subsumed into irrelevant rhythmic groupings (Sandow 2004, p.257).

	The Generational Rhythm of American Politics
		It should be clear that the spatial divisions of the United States combine a certain continuity over time along with a certain amount of change brought about by "changing times." Location in time is no less important a factor in shaping politics than location in space.
		The sequence and impact of discrete political events is substantially shaped by the rhythm of the generations, even though the events themselves may seem random.
		To suggest that a generational rhythm is clearly apparent in American politics is not to suggest that events move in any lock-step, that the rhythm of every generation is exactly the same as that of every other, or that there are no exceptions to the "normal" rules.

		It is an additive concept of rhythm whereby rhythm cells of twos and threes (even and odd) are added together to build rhythm cycles of various lengths.
		A rhythm cell of an even amount (2 or 4) sounding at the same time as a rhythm cell of an odd amount (3) creates polyrhythms that generate motion in sound.

	INTRA - Interactive Tutorial on Rhythm Analysis - 2 - Some Introductory Concepts and Terms
		To come to an understanding of how rhythm creates time, it is necessary to make clear what is meant by "rhythm," as well as a set of companion terms, "prosody" and "versification," that have been used variably and sometimes interchangeably, leading inevitably to confusion (DM 3).
		Thus, we can begin to see that rhythm is not simply a limited aspect of poetry or more narrowly, of metrical poetry, but a or perhaps, the central feature of language.
		RHYTHM is "a global term covering all relations of strength and weakness" (BM 11).
