Let's assume that the baroque is a state of systems that emerges through specific patterns when there is a struggle for synthesis (for instance, when there is a process of colonization or intensive cross-cultural exchanges). Then we would be able to explain why Baroque moves from some places to others or why there is a prevading Neobaroque effect in today's world, even if the Baroque period ended by normal standards a couple of centuries ago. If the Baroque is not just a style, confined to certain chronological limits and specific geographical areas, but somehting else (what?), we would understand the use of the term Baroque to talk about certain forms and phenomena in nature, in systems, in behaviors, etc.
