Rhythmic Universality of a Good Cut

he philosophy that a perfectly edited sequence possesses an innate, universal rhythm derived from its visual content—performance, movement, and composition. When this internal rhythm is achieved, the edit becomes 'musical' in its own right, allowing almost any external music track to synchronize with it effectively. The edit doesn't follow the music; the music reveals the rhythm already present in the edit.
