Abstract
Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Leopold Sedar Senghor present philosophies that expose a similar underlying intention: that of promoting an alternative to the Cartesian “I think therefore I am” way of being-in-the-world (to use Heidegger’s term). The cultural contexts from which the two were interpreting the world differ greatly, yet for both philosophers the manner in which humans exist in the world informs particular creative expression. Both philosophers posit that the act of creation—African masks of Senghor and painting for Merleau-Ponty—captures and presents a deeper, truer version of reality. For these scholars, the artist has a particular ability to reach the underlying force that makes Being appear. For Senghor this vital force is made up of rhythm. Merleau-Ponty calls the intertwining element that interconnects all of existence the Flesh. In this article, I will examine the similarities and differences between the two terms used by each philosopher to describe the underlying unifying element, an element that intertwines, links, unites humans with the world: rhythm or vital force and the flesh. Though these two thinkers do not directly state the reason for this gift, based on the fact that they both, at the very core of their thought, critique an over-emphasis of Cartesian reason, we can surmise that relying too heavily on analytic and/or scientific methods of understanding will lead to nothing more than an incomplete, surface understanding of being-in-the-world. Philosophy, like art, can bring about this actualization of truth. The ultimate goal, I propose, should be for the actualization of truth, through art and philosophy, to be possible for all people as it entails an awareness of being-in-the-world that is deeper, fuller and less antagonistic than the way in which many humans currently exist.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
