Utilizing an encapsulated tranche system, the notation for "Dimidius" segments motifs through the strategic implementation of bounding boxes. This approach elucidates the nuanced interplay of shifting coalitions of forms as they manifest in the performer's interpretations across temporal shifts.

Through a series of concepts, graphic protocols, and notations, "Dimidius" serves as a visual framework, delineating distinct motifs and shifting coalitions of forms and their perceptual manifestations over time. The use of bounding boxes as a notational device underscores the fluidity of perception and the multifaceted nature of artistic expression, highlighting the inherent dynamism of the compositional process.
