Following the successful realization of the Apparatus for the Fundamentals of Physics, which Krylov describes in his third manuscript in the fourth chapter, at IWF, the attempt was made from 2002-2004 to implement a further chapter from Krylov's manuscript: the Interactions. Similar to the previous chapter, alongside several fragmentarily preserved pages on theoretical analysis, this chapter contained, for the most part, sketches of surveillance instruments and performances. Despite the fact that most of the theoretical pages are missing, what remains nonetheless makes clear that in the chapter on Interactions Krylov was occupied with the origins of the universe. Krylov's confrontation can be divided into three sections. In the first, he examines various physical scenarios on the origins of the universe, feeling his way toward the theme. In the second section, Krylov introduces sketches for observation instruments and in doing so, ultimately arrives at the third chapter in which he works out his own approaches to a solution. Already at the beginning of his work, it becomes evident that he is becoming increasingly interested in more general questions in addition to the concrete scenarios on the origins of the universe. Accordingly, in the course of the first section of Interactions Krylov begins to work with terms such as borders and information transfer. He also confronts the relationship between present and past. And these general topics are likewise mirrored in the observation instruments (O.T.; R89; MIR; H.M.) and performances (Interaktion 1-3), which Krylov prepared based on his preliminary theoretical work. In the years from 2002-2004, the attempt was made to implement these Krylovian sketches at the IWF, and similar to the Apparatus for the Fundamentals of Physics, the results were published in a small brochure with an accompanying audio CD. For the interactions, the IWF decided for the first time to also include a scientific component along with the instruments and performances. The reason for this is that Krylov's research methods are based in the interplay of scientific and artistic methods. However, since Krylov's preliminary theoretical work has been preserved only fragmentarily, and additionally, the theoretical conclusions that Krylov established in his own scenarios for the origins of the universe are missing entirely, the decision was made not to include these few, seemingly disconnected pages and instead, to commission a new work that contextualizes the Krylovian performances and installations within a more general theoretical framework. In conjunction with this, the historical anthropologist Dr. ADAM put together an anthropological investigation exploring the issue of origins. In doing so, ADAM deals with the performances Interactions 1-3, the myths, and scientific theories, to work out differences and similarities in the descriptions of the emergence of something new in these various text forms. Grappling with origins via theoretical texts, installations, performances, and pictures is an attempt to describe a complex term via its openness and ambiguity without renouncing its existence as a concrete entity. This follows Prof. Krylov's prescient approach in the Apparatus for the Fundamentals of Physics.
