The beats come at regular intervals, occuring normally throughout the metric spectrum, spaced apart at rhythmically equidistant points, similar to a linear plane on which are placed fence posts in succession according to a predetermined scale. The strums of the guitar meet on the beets, like hammers pounding in the fence posts. When the guitar strums on the beat, the plane continues in its linear fashion; but when the instrument (and the musician) stray from the rigid parameters of the meter, and begin striking at inter-rhythmic moments, the plane begins to fold in upon itself, moving no longer in a straight, linear path, but rather in an arc, bending in order to compensate for the radically placed blows. Triplets severely disrupt the pattern of the linear plane, since no whole can be perfectly divided into three segments (i.e. 33.33333333etc); therefore, when the music attempts to strike upon the segmented triplets between beats, the listener experiences a kind of tumultuous sensation whereupon he feels that he is being torn forward while at the same time being thrust back, similar to the sensations experienced upon a roller coaster (similar, but of course not identical, since it is impossible that an object might move in two directions at once, although the orbit of the Earth around the Sun and the planet's rotation upon its axis seem to suggest that all human beings are moving in two directions at the same time). This lapse in rhythm causes its plane to fold in upon itself, but this fold does not occur at a specific axis upon the plane; rather, the surface curves in on itself, in a parabolic fashion, expanding, exponentially, deeper and deeper into infinity, and its divisions can not be measured.
Rhythmic division into irregular patterns can never be perfect. It results in chaos.
