The film ́s title "Hypercycle Jazz" calls upon Manfred Eigens theory of the “hypercycle,” a concept of
self-sustaining cycles of interconnected processes, each one catalyzing the next.
This positive feedback loop could be likened to the love that persists after a
person is passed on. Relating this phenomenon to jazz improvisation suggests a way of
understanding emergent behaviors and non-linear dynamics, as well as ancestral
continuity and kinship.
