In the field of pen spinning, Theory refers to the ideas and observations made in attempts to better understand the hobby itself.
Applied Theory
Structural Analysis
Zombo's Combo Transformation Method
- See also: Zombo's Combo Transformation Method
Released in 2012[1] by Zombo, a theoretical method is described to allow transformations to be applied to existing combos to result in new derivative combos.
Zombo's Structural Stability Theory
- See also: Zombo's Structural Stability Theory
First released in 2012[2], Zombo proposed a system of analysing the structure of a combo by defining elements as 'stable' or 'unstable' and tracking the transitions between stability and instability. This would then be used to aid in constructing combos that created particular aesthetic feelings.
Semantics
Notation
Philosophy
Metaphysics
Metaphysics within the context of pen spinning is concerned with defining the fundamental principles that differentiate pen spinning from other things. It aims to answer questions such as "What is Pen Spinning" and "What is Pen Spinning like?".
Zombo's Discourse on the Metaphysics of Pen Spinning
In 2010[3] Zombo released an article detailing his observations made to answer the question "What is Pen Spinning, exactly?". It was considered one of the foundations of pen spinning philosophy.
