materiality 

The singer/songwriter Madonna's hit song "Material Girl" in the 1980's first used the term materiality in response to a reporters question about her hit song a decade prior. She described it in the interview: "...I feel materiality is part of who we are, the texture of our life. I just wouldn't be able to perform to my best without a real sense of it each time I appear on stage".
The materiality of our existence is one where lines, objects, and places have their own distinct awareness of themselves compared to the forms and feelings of adjacent spaces.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
