Three locally independent spaces, each with its own instrumentation and staging, are nevertheless dependent on one another in view of the electronic connections. A room-internal action also has global effects, so the rooms nest in this way. In one room, the audience experiences the effects that are present but caused in another (absent) room. The audience can experience such cause-effect chains in two runs of the piece in the concert. By changing the room from two different perspectives the audience could then try to image how the part, that is always absent, could relate to the part, that is present at the moment.
