gestural skeuomorph

A gestural skeuomorph is founded on the concept that time sweeps space-itself in a cyclical manner so as to create space.

In the paradigm of the gestural skeuomorph time is beckoning to human beings with physical space.

Space is a gesture created by the Structure-Of-Time.

Skeuomorphs can be divided into four types: physical, virtual, auditory, and chronistic.

Space is a type of auditory skeuomorph; a chronistic or gestural skeuomorph created by the structure of time.
