Score / Notes
I:

 

To be performed in a space engineered so that the law "only the person next to you and your I actually exist" can be controllably applied.

 

In the said space, a series of thinking personhoods with subjectivities are arranged in a circle in a medium of space and/or time. The application of the aforementioned law is artificially applied by an arranger, starting with one of the participant personhoods. Despite that person originally being able to think and therefore be, the law will now make it think but not be, whilst the person next to it, in whatever mono-direction desired by the arranger, actually now is, despite the previous person not being able to be certain whether they are or not. The cycle continues around the group and back to the first person for any number of desired revolutions, resulting in the participants both being and not, rhythmically.

II:

 

For participant one to venture so deeply into their own mind that they eventually arrive, as a trans-solipsonaut, outside of it, of which they will then proceed a regular orbit.

 

For participant two to execute the same first instruction, but to continue the strange loop in synchronisation with participant one's metronomic orbit, rather than halting to then orbit their own mind as participant one will be doing.
