03 Third Order/Placement Modes/Exchanging

Exchanging

Exchanging names the placement mode where participation is primarily carried through reciprocal transfer, mutual availability, or return between positions.

Trace

Read

Exchanging becomes recognisable where a note is primarily placed by what passes between positions while each side remains distinct enough for the exchange to be read.

Structural Role

Exchanging is a placement mode, not an order root. It sorts third-order notes whose primary carrying is reciprocal transfer, return, or mutual availability.
