Quoting Bousquet: "Become the man of your misfortunes; learn to embody their perfection and brilliance." (149) The key here being that every event is a break of some kind. Every event is the expression of some form (no matter how contorted) of representation. So in the really terrible misfortunes and breakages, we get the clearest indication of the disease at hand. The only tools we have are the signs which are our symptoms. We want these symptoms to declare themselves (if we can stand the pain and embarrassment they inflict). Hence, the "perfection" of the break. Connect this to rap breaks/samples.
Again, time "rises" to the surface, rises through that buttonhole, into the shape of the gyre, akin to the aufhebuhn, "with no more thickness than the mirror." (150) [my emphasis] (e.g. the heart monitor, result of a valve opening and closing) At the moment of the present, the pre-individual, transcendental fields of past and future condense and become asymptotic to each other, like two butterfly wings coming together at the body.
On the univocal which is also an inversion of the self: It is the moment of the event "where all events gather together in one ... transmutation." (153)
